If the sales of electric cars are increasing again and again, and the market share of this engine reaches 15% in France, however, there is a slight slowdown. In fact, demand has stagnated slightly over the past few months, but many points still deter motorists. Among the most important price, apparently, which, according to a recent study, would pose a problem for about nine out of ten French people. And for good reason, these cars still cost a lot more than equivalents equipped with a traditional heat engine.

Help saved

The problem is that the government wants to tighten the screws from next year, and may even eliminate it over the years. This can create a real problem, as Stellantis group boss Carlos Tavares explained at the grand opening of the new plant near Lyon.
Support the purchase of electricity

This would obviously lead to a decrease in demand and a slowdown in all events.” Therefore, he asks the government to continue to provide financial assistance to motorists for the purchase of electric cars.
