Following President Emmanuel Macron\u2019s re-election in France<\/a> this year, he has begun making good on a promise he made during his campaign to make electric vehicles more affordable. The government is reportedly working out how quickly it can roll out a new measure that would make leases for some EVs available to the people of France for only 100 euros a month. <\/p>\n

During his latest campaign trail, Emmanuel Macron promised a future in France that included a state-sponsored leasing program for low-income households who cannot afford EVs, even with current or future subsidies.<\/p>\n

The French government currently offers subsidies as high as 6,000 euros for the purchase of an EV priced under 47,000 euros. There is also potential for additional government aid under a trade-in program to get older gasoline vehicles off the streets of France.<\/p>\n

According to Automotive News Europe<\/em>, 12% of new car sales in France were all-electric<\/a> during the first seven months of 2022. Still, the prospect of buying or leasing an EV remains out of reach for many in France. At least until now.<\/p>\n

On \u201cfree-to-air \u201d television over the weekend, France\u2019s Budget Minister Gabriel Attal said the government is preparing a plan to subsidize EV leasing that will make all-electric models available for only 100 euros ($100) a month. Attal followed up by saying that 100 euros is less than most French drivers currently spend on gasoline alone each month.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Attal said the French government is currently determining on how quickly the new affordable leasing measure can be rolled out based on the availability of qualifying EVs. <\/p>\n

No specific models were mentioned as part of the EV lease subsidies, but several current leases in France for smaller EVs are already priced between 100-200 euros per month and could make valid candidates. This includes EVs like the Renault Twingo (seen above) or the new electric Fiat 500<\/a>. <\/p>\n
