Germany is heavily relying on coal: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/coal-germany
It's also building inefficient LNG terminals for liquid gas. Far away from being a leader in renewables.
Furthermore EVs are not a solution for climate change, but rather to save the car industry, which is particularly strong in Germany.
The past conservative governments have slowed down renewables unnecessarily. But one of the biggest successes of the world destruction lobby is to make people believe the energy transition was hard. Don't focus too much on the little things. Look at the big picture: https://www.energy-charts.info/charts/renewable_share/chart.htm?l=en&c=DE&interval=year&legendItems=01
As of five years ago they were also heavily relying on renewables according to your source.
