Isn't there a similar subsidies/discount in California(?) where you get $5000 if you buy an electric car (manufacturer doesn't matter afaik)?

The fact that the 3 majors German car makers have already a head-start for this subvention whereas there are lots of electric car models from other car makers doesn't inspire trust in this process ...
The money allocated will be available for 350000 cars. It will take some years to sell those. In 2014 the whole of Germany bought just 8522 electric cars plus 27435 hybrid cars... It's even worse, probably half of these cars were never used in Germany but exported...

For a Chevy Volt, that was $7500 Federal + $1500 State
Worked nicely for a lease too.
