Easier said than done, during this week many German regions are on general strike, thus everyone just switched back to their cars, complaining about unions, their power in infrastructure and so on.

Naturally most of those cars are combustion based, because it is still very expensive to buy a new EV, and even used ones are more expensive than new combustion cars, and there is the whole question of how damaged the battery will be anyway.

That's not true, you can get a cheap new EV, pricing for electric Dacia without subsidy starts from €16k. And used Zoe or i3 are really cheap.

That is still expensive versus traditional cars.

Is it? You can't even find a German car in the same price range.

Not everyone buys German cars, rather something that simplifies their daily lives, with a motor and some amenities.

That looks like a bit Apple mentality applied to cars.
