Just a few years ago, buying a car was not too difficult. All you had to do was choose the model that best suited your needs and budget, and you were all set. But over the years, everything has changed, and finding the perfect model is no longer so easy. Indeed, we are now dealing with new provisions, which complicates the situation. Indeed, it is necessary to take into account ZFE and other traffic restrictions, as well as a fine and financial assistance such as a premium for the purchase of an electric car. And this significantly complicates the life of motorists.
There is an exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so the emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice, it will be necessary to return pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

In the dark
In any case, this is what a study, just published by Cetelem and carried out in no less than 16 countries, shows. In general, it seems that most motorists are not taken into account don’t buy a new car at least for a year, while 36% of respondents do not plan to do so at all. In fact, 64% of drivers surveyed in France say they have a hard time deciding whether to buy a new car. The reason is the vagueness of the regulations. According to Flavien Nevy, director of the observatory, “ the consumer is a bit lost. He doesn’t know if the time is right because he doesn’t know whether to buy electric, hybrid, petrol or diesel“.
Good idea ?
But that’s not all. In fact, only 58% of French people understood the principle of ZFE, while a large part is still in the dark. In addition, more and more motorists do not dare to buy an electric car, in particular due to the increase in energy prices. In addition, the price also remains an obstacle for many potential buyers, as does recharging.
