- increased support for replacing old heating with heat pumps
- 100 regions will pilot comprehensive heat transition plans to phase out gas by 2030

Doubling down on electric mobility:

- The social leasing scheme, which helps lower-income households switch to an EV, returns in June with double the capacity (2 x 50,000 cars)

- On top of this, support will be provided for an additional 50,000 EVs for 'frequent drivers' in the middle classes

This should not replace 'dependence on oil' with 'dependence on imported vehicles'. French car makers should produce 400,000 EVs a year (2027) and one million by 2030

- Up to €100,000 of support for electric commercial/HDVs for SMEs

- Dedicated measures for industry and agrifood, such as ovens

@burger_jaap Quite a bit sad that we are not taking this opportunity to shift away from individual transportation with >1T vehicules.

@BrKloeckner @burger_jaap
⬆️ This, and maybe even individual transportation in general. There is a lot of room for improvement on the public transport sector here…

@burger_jaap meanwhile, here in the UK, I can't get anywhere on our local roads here in South Devon because the gas companies are wasting our money digging the roads up to replace the gas mains with new plastic pipes.

@burger_jaap easier when over two thirds of French electricity comes from nuclear power.

@burger_jaap 100 regions? I thought France had merged regions to only 18 now?

The wording in the original doc is "territoires", not "régions".

@burger_jaap I am shocked anyone would consider installing a gas boiler in 2026. Especially considering the mild French winters and that heat pumps also supply a/c.
