German motorists can still receive a government handout if they purchase an electric car beyond the summer deadline originally set out for the scheme to end.
An extension of the electric-car premium beyond the summer is "seriously being considered," dpa learned from government circles on Wednesday.
In the pot for the so-called environmental bonus are a total of 600 million euros in federal funds, but so far, only 134 million euros has been paid out, the sources said.
Around 100,000 applications for the bonus have been received so far.
The premium was due to expire according to previous plans at the end of June.
Now more and more electric cars are coming onto the market, and the charging station infrastructure is improving, according to government officials.
