Who is to blame for slow e-car sales?
Frankfurter Allgemeine
Slow sales of e-cars are caused by a lack of demand, not supply, VW CEO Matthias Müller told Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung in an interview. “On the one hand, many Germans think and act green in their day-to-day lives, but when it comes to e-mobility, consumers are reticent,” Müller said. Renate Künast, former Green minister for consumer protection, called Müller’s statement “barefaced”: “No e-cars at affordable prices, no charging stations, but criticising non-buyers.”
