Its interesting to watch how the different approaches Turn Out. Germany just now massivly cut back in EV incentives. Its huge Car corporations are already struggling in the EV Market and especially in China.
With french Companies offering a Car in the 20k⬠range, German manufacturers fall even further behind.
Meanwhile Germany still bets in selling traditional Cars in the shrinking Chinese Market..

With a battery rental in the order of 80 β¬ per month on top. It's easy to offer a cheap car if the most expensive component isn't sold along with it.
True, but that don't seems to be a bad idea after all: it make the car less expensive when you buy it so maybe more people could afford one and currently for that montly price you will not even do one full tank of fuel here.
It is a good idea. I just don't like being forced to rent it. I want to buy a car so that it is mine, but the French don't offer that.
Yes but tank-size luxury EVs, so hot right now!
I want a Leopard 2A7-E

cool, national politics always going 110% because dimwits just get super wet from it, meanwhile all countries' car manufacturers are spiraling into an unsolvable repairability nightmare. i literally don't care if I'm going to drive french or Chinese e-waste. i hope i didn't care that others of my species had brain rot but we see here that it still gets to me. π
And where will the parts of the European cars be sourced from?
France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Czechia.
100β¬ a month for ppl that can afford to buy an ev while most ppl drive a 20 year old car that is falling apart bc ppl can't afford a new one seems like is not really helping the people thay need help
So I wasn't sure which one of us misunderstood so I went to read on the French page, and it is indeed a scheme where people with low income can lease the car for 100β¬ per month, as in that's what they'll have to pay per month, rather than a discount on the price of a normal lease.
oy that's nice then
this is borderline communist for Macron. What happened to him?
