Too low, must be at least: 5 million electric vehicles on German roads by 2020 and some 50 million by 2030.

<blockquote>'The government presented its strategy for electric mobility in May. It aims to have 1 million electric vehicles on German roads by 2020 and some 5 million by 2030. To reach this goal it plans to launch new vehicle registration rules in 2011 that give privileges to people who drive electric cars, such as free parking or the permission to use bus lanes. (Part 7)

...

..From 2013 on it will only allow tax relief on energy taxes if companies make a contribution to energy savings.. (Part 6)

..a European supergrid .. a smart grid which automatically and immediately balances out overcapacity and shortages. This is the only way the decentralized output of tens of thousands of household solar plants and gas-fired cellar power generators can be used effectively. (Part 4)'
