Germany’s electric vehicle market is showing signs of maturity as automakers reduce discounts following the return of government incentives.

Average EV discounts declined from 19.5% in January to 18.6% in May, while electric vehicles are now nearly €2,000 more expensive than comparable petrol and diesel models before incentives are applied.

The shift suggests manufacturers are becoming more confident in consumer demand and relying less on aggressive price cuts to drive sales. The key question now is whether government support alone can maintain the momentum of EV adoption in Europe’s largest automotive market.
