Today, France has revealed its list of electric vehicles now eligible for federal tax incentives of up to €7,000. EVs made in China – including Tesla’s Model 3 and the Dacia Spring, the cheapest EV on the market – didn't make the cut.

French president Emmanuel Macron already unveiled new incentives to sway buyers away from Chinese models toward French and European ones, including a new €100 per month leasing scheme for EU-made electric cars, with those details announced today. The French government also announced a big rollout of cash incentives for first-time EV buyers, as long as they bought cars made in the EU.

    Given that who is driving a 20 year old car (but car’s age does not really matter) now spend much more than 100 € a month for the fuel, it does not seems to be that expensive.

    And anyway 20k € for a car are not that much these days if you want to buy a brand new car. I get that many people could not even afford that much, but it is not that nowadays an used car is much less expensive, if you want a decent one.
