Fifty-four percent of the registered electric vehicles are battery-electric, 46 percent plug-in hybrids, said the government. \u201cOur transport will be irreversibly converted to renewable energies,\u201d said economy Altmaier\u00a0announced in July<\/a>\u00a0the target would be reached that month. Germany has been struggling to lower emissions in the transport sector, which have remained broadly stable for decades, as gains from more efficient engines have been eaten up by heavier cars. Currently, there are around 48 million<\/strong> cars on Germany\u2019s roads.<\/strong> The take-up of electric vehicles has been slow in the country in comparison to many other markets. But thanks to government incentives, registrations have picked up sharply since last year. Environmental activists have regularly criticised the inclusion of and subsidies for plug-in hybrids<\/strong>, because many are rarely driven in electric mode<\/strong>. Experts have called on the government to aim<\/strong> to have around 14 million e-cars<\/strong> on the road by 2030.<\/p>\n One in six purely-electric cars produced worldwide in the second quarter of 2021 came from German carmakers, while the global market is still dominated by competitors from the U.S. and China, according to a study by consultancy PwC. German manufacturers increased their share in fully electric cars to 17 percent between April and July this year and to 50 percent<\/strong> in plug-in-hybrid vehicles, the consultancy said. China continued to be the biggest market for electric cars, corresponding to 58 percent<\/strong> of all sales in the second quarter, PwC said. In the first half of the year, Volkswagen,\u00a0BMW<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Daimler<\/a>\u00a0together sold 246,000 e-cars and 370,000 plug-in-hybrids, wrote dpa.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Germany has reached its target of one million registered battery electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles, said the government\u00a0in a press release.
