The German market for battery-electric light commercial vehicles (eLCVs) is expected to grow in the coming years. The regulatory environment in Germany is favorable for the adoption of eLCVs, with government incentives and subsidies available for buyers and manufacturers. However, the current eLCV lineup in Germany is limited, and the market demand for eLCVs is still low. German fleet managers are looking for vehicles with longer ranges and lower operating costs, and the total cost of ownership (TCO) comparison of eLCVs and diesel vehicles is expected to play a significant role in their purchasing decisions. The authors of the report suggest that eLCVs are the logical next step in Germany's efforts to combat traffic-related emissions, but more needs to be done to increase market demand and make eLCVs a viable option for fleet managers.
