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 will have to be ironed pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE

The last few months have been more than difficult for all French people. And it was not for nothing that the price of fuel rose sharply, exceeding the two-euro mark, but not only that. Fares also rose sharply, as in new cars and even used. Not to mention electricity, which has also experienced very strong growth, as have all consumer goods in general. A real disaster for the economy and for everyone, when most people are now forced to tighten their belts more than ever to be able to continue to live normally. And it’s not supposed to get any better, although the power could still go out over the next few months, especially in the winter.

Impact on sales?

But will this sharp increase in the bill affect sales of electric cars? Because for years the government has wanted to push motorists to go zero-emission, especially after the European Commission bans the sale of thermal models from 2035. Well, according to Clément Molizon, General Delegate of the National Association for the Development of Electric Mobility (Avere-France), transmitted to Echos Judiciaires, not necessarily. Indeed, he emphasizes that the French will be protected by the tariff shield. He goes on to say that ” 80% of refills are carried out at home and at work […] Even if we have an increase in the price of electricity, there is a considerable reserve. At home, we cost about 2 euros per 100 km, and on the heat – from 12 to 16 euros, depending on the performance of the cars“.

Price increase

However, if the French do not necessarily suffer from higher electricity prices, charging station operators must adapt their prices accordingly. This is especially trueAlegowho announced a increase in the price of kWh from 15 to 20% from the beginning of September, due to ” increase in electricity prices in Europe“. For its part, Ionity has no plans to change its prices, nor does Izivia, EDF’s charging station subsidiary.

While the European Union banned the sale of internal combustion cars from 2035, France still practices “terminal hunting”. Educational review@oubertalli. #OnEstNotSortisDesRonces https://t.co/uT3qUEjNe6
