EV sales and charging use surge in Germany amid Iran war

Electric vehicle sales and public charging station usage in Germany have surged sharply, driven largely by high petrol and diesel prices that analysts link to the Iran conflict and its impact on global oil markets. Clean Energy Wire reports that drivers are increasingly switching to electric cars and using charging networks more frequently as filling up conventional vehicles becomes markedly more expensive.
Why now: The Iran war is keeping fuel prices high, pushing German drivers toward electric vehicles.
