FAZ, Frankfurt - 2.65 million new (passenger) cars were registered in Germany in 2022. Mercedes alone sells more than 2 million cars a year. And more than 45 million fuel powered cars are driving around in Germany. The government`s ambition to have 15 million electric cars by 2030 means 1.75 million new electric cars per year.
