People are misreading the new 2026 German EV Subsidy.
The headline says: "Capped at €80,000 Household Income."
Most people read: Gross Income (Brutto). The draft law says: Taxable Income (Zu versteuerndes Einkommen)
That single word changes the entire target audience. (1/8)
Why this matters:
“Taxable income” is what remains after you deduct tax-deductible social contributions and allowances.
That means the real eligibility limit is often much higher than it appears. (2/8)
