Following the news that the German federal government has announced 4,000 euros (Rs 3.05 lakh) in bonuses for electric vehicle customers, Nissan has raised the subsidy bar to 5,000 euros (Rs 3.82 lakh) for buyers of the Leaf and e-NV200 models. Thus prospective buyers in Germany can expect 5,000 euros in assistance when they buy a new Nissan Leaf or e-NV200, representing an extra 2,000 euros in savings when compared to a plug-in hybrid model. The Leaf delivers 250km of driving range, more than any other pure electric vehicle eligible for the scheme, and is available from 18,365 euros/Rs 14 lakh (plus battery rental). Gareth Dunsmore, director of Electric Vehicles for Nissan Europe, said: “This incentive marks out Nissan’s clear commitment to affordable, mass-market, pure electric vehicles (EVs). We hope that the additional incentives for pure EV adopters will encourage drivers to make the switch to 100 percent electric mobility from the get-go. “Our commitment doesn’t stop there – since 2010, we have helped to fund an extensive network of reliable CHAdeMo chargers. In fact, Nissan has part-funded more than 3,100 compatible charging units across Europe and more than 200 in Germany alone – available at service stations, dealerships and across city centres. We’re thrilled to see that there will be an additional 200 million (Rs 1,528 crore) in investment from the German federal government to support multi-standard infrastructure.” The 4,000 Euro bonus is co-funded, with 50% provided by the manufacturer and the German federal government matching the contribution. The news comes as Nissan has announced sales of 16,916 electric cars in Europe for 2015-16, a new annual record. The Leaf continues to lead the electric vehicle segment globally.

In a statement on its website, Tesla said it was disappointed to have been excluded from the scheme, which offers a €4,000 purchase incentive for electric vehicles and €3,000 against plug-in hybrids up to a value of €60,000, with funding split equally between manufacturers and the government. International manufacturers can sign up, but the Tesla Model S and forthcoming Model X are the only fully electric vehicles which are not eligible for the government incentives. However, Audi, BMW, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche all offer plug-in hybrids which also do not qualify. Tesla said the price limit was “arbitrary” and that it would offer its own incentives, as the Model S and Model X replace vehicles in sectors with the highest CO2 emissions. The company added that it will work with German ministries to develop a scheme which does not benefit specific manufacturers.
