- According to government figures, the subsidy introduced in May has so far been paid to 100,000 applicants.
- Half of applicants had annual household incomes of at most €45,000, while three quarters earned at most €60,000.
- Initial evaluations indicate that fewer than 15 percent of applications concerned vehicles from China.
- For 2026–2029, the government says €3 billion should suffice for up to 800,000 subsidized vehicles.
The subsidy program has far exceeded our expectations and has already helped 100,000 households shield themselves from the high gas prices.— Carsten Schneider (SPD), German Federal Environment Minister, in an interview with Bild

- Krüger argues that heatwaves, droughts and low water levels are putting energy production, supply chains and some drinking-water supplies under pressure, with climate change harming the economy.
- According to Krüger, drained peatlands emit nearly seven percent of greenhouse-gas emissions, so water should be held around four centimetres below ground level for rewetting.
- A total of 1.75 billion euros is available for peatland protection through 2029, while farmers would have to change their business models and could generate income through new value chains and photovoltaics, Krüger says.
- Schneider’s revised proposals are in the consultation process with associations, while CSU Agriculture Minister Alois Rainer opposes them; Schneider intends to seek further funding in budget negotiations.
