Thema Automobilindustrie in der vorgezogenen Bundestagswahl: Die Transformation der Automobilindustrie ist unumkehrbar. Mehr als 250 Milliarden Euro wurden bereits in emissionsfreie Technologien investiert. Doch die politischen Debatten zur Bundestagswahl 2025 bleiben widersprüchlich und oft realitätsfern. *Subventionierung vs. Technologieoffenheit* Während SPD & Bündnis 90/Die Grünen auf Förderprogramme für Elektromobilität setzen, plädieren CDU/CSU, FDP & AfD für „Technologieoffenheit“ – oft mit Fokus auf E-Fuels, deren Machbarkeit und Effizienz jedoch fraglich sind. *E-Fuels als Scheinlösung?* E-Fuels werden als gleichwertige Alternative zum E-Antrieb dargestellt – trotz hoher Kosten verbunden mit hohen Umwandlungsverlusten. In der Luftfahrt sinnvoll, im Pkw-Sektor ineffizient. *Fazit* Die Automobilindustrie braucht Verlässlichkeit statt Unsicherheit. Die Wahlprogramme vieler Parteien liefern wenige tragfähige Lösungen. Der Fokus sollte auf pragmatischen Maßnahmen zur Förderung der E-Mobilität liegen – nicht auf politischen Symboldebatten. // 𝗦𝗶𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗳ü𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗵 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗴𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗯𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗻 𝗖𝗔𝗥-𝗔𝘂𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁?
