The French government has announced the measures of its plan to accelerate electrification:

- a ban on gas boilers in new houses from the end of 2026
- 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.

I don't think anything prevents installation of showers etc at work, secure bike parking, additional rapid transport on a grid, the extension of containerised freight to units of a side around a metre length and fractions of it, and to a fine grid of collection and delivery points etc.
Big job though.

@Photo55 @burger_jaap And our national plans do nothing in this direction, that's my point.
