      As the article mentions, it’s mainly because the “lead” is in terms of brand, not manufacturer. Volkswagen and Stellantis have been granted more of the subsidies, but divided over several brands.

      looking at the used market here, it’s probably the other way around. they are consistently the cheapest because they don’t sell, which means more people can afford them. and i don’t know how the germans set in up but here you can also use the incentive for used vehicles, the only criteria being that the household has never had an ev or phev, and that the new vehicle is replacing an old ICE vehicle, if the household had one.
