The article reports on significant progress in Germany towards climate protection through electric vehicles (EVs) and heat pumps. According to data from the Association of International Motor Manufacturers, nearly two-thirds of new cars registered in Germany have electric, hybrid, or gas powertrains, with battery-electric vehicles making up around a quarter of all new cars—a seven percentage point increase. In heating, heat pumps became the most commonly installed heating system in 2025, according to a survey by three research institutes, while fossil fuel boilers saw a sharp decline. The article notes that these developments contradict recent perceptions of stalled climate action, citing declining public concern over climate issues and legislative setbacks like the repeal of Habeck's heating law. It also discusses global trends, noting that developing countries, particularly China, are rapidly adopting renewable energy technologies faster than developed nations. The piece argues that market forces and cost efficiency are driving adoption, suggesting that traditional technologies like internal combustion engines and gas heating may become obsolete by 2035 despite ongoing debates.

It acknowledges both challenges (such as regulatory rollbacks and public apathy) and positive trends (market-driven adoption), without taking a鲜明的
