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

@troed They only want that their industry produces more. With these subsidies, you are completely free to choose your car. That's why I'm surrounded by Teslas (from Germany) - in the beginning they were nearly the only EVs available.
Meanwhile, you can even order a small Citroen Ami EV at the FNAC (a bookshop!)
