The government presented its strategy for electric mobility in May. It aims to have 1 million electric vehicles on German roads by 2020 and some 5 million by 2030. To reach this goal it plans to launch new vehicle registration rules in 2011 that give privileges to people who drive electric cars, such as free parking or the permission to use bus lanes.

The government estimates that CO2 emissions for street vehicles can be reduced from 160 grams per kilometer now to 35 grams by 2040 assuming an 80 percent market share for electric and hybrid vehicles by then.
