Thank you Germany: Part 069: Electric cars are one of the technical innovations of our time

Industry and renewable energies often go hand in hand in Germany. This development has continued to intensify in recent decades and Germany can be proud of this connection. It not only makes an important contribution to preserving the planet in terms of individual environmentally conscious households. It is also bringing about a social shift towards renewable energies that can be utilised by broad sections of the population. An important area in this development is the production of electric cars. It has been driven forward in Germany. The world's most famous car nation is thus doing pioneering work in an important field.

Oil will run out at some point. There are not infinite resources of this material. That is why we need to switch to a different form of production in the long term. In Germany, it is already possible to drive electric cars today. Some large automotive companies even already have a plan in the pipeline for a complete switch to electric operation. More and more cars are being built with electric drive. Many people can already afford models of this type. The companies produce them at an affordable price. Added to this is the fact that electric cars can now be charged in more and more places in Germany.

In addition to the new electric mode, there are also cars that can run on both petrol and electricity. This means that drivers are extremely flexible. Cars of this type can also be leased. More and more Germans have made the decision in favour of an electric car in recent years. It seems only a matter of time before production switches completely to cars of this type. Compared to normal cars powered by petrol or diesel, electric cars also offer another advantage. They are particularly quiet.

There is less noise when driving an electric car. This makes for a quieter journey. Both drivers and cities benefit from this quality. When electric cars are in widespread use at some point, cities in Germany will probably become much quieter as a result. Thanks to the targeted production of electric cars, the right research in this field and appropriate economic policy support, the development of electric cars in Germany has made considerable progress. The world's car nation need not worry that its own economy will fall behind once petrol-powered cars disappear. Quite the opposite: Germany is in an excellent technical position for the future.

The development of electric cars is a sustainable technology. It will not only be utilised by major companies in the coming years. Many private households and ordinary consumers can already be equipped with this modern technology and use it privately. The new cars are inspiring both men and women. The beautiful design as well as the environmentally conscious charm of this production ensures that these products have many fans. Most users of German electric cars are extremely satisfied with the vehicle they have purchased. The new technology already offers great comfort. We can be grateful for that.
