There is still very little
We know that EV sales continue to accelerate over the years. And it’s not for nothing that government agencies are doing everything they can to encourage motorists to switch to this engine, and it seems to be working. Well, that’s at least for individuals as it’s a bit harder for professionals to get started. And the observation is obvious: 60% of large companies with a fleet of more than 100 cars do not comply with the legal obligations established The law on mobility orientation (LOM). The latter requires companies to upgrade their fleet by 20% with low-emission vehicles. Unfortunately only some of them play this game like La Poste, EDF or Hertz etc. Leo Lariviere, responsible for the automotive transition in transport and the environment, emphasizes that most electrified vehicles are plug-in hybrids. The latter account for three quarters of professional registrations, but 90% work in thermal mode.

Whereas electric cars make 16% of new car sales in 2023, the main driver of this movement will be people with a share of 22%. In contrast, companies represent just 11% of the new EV market, and that figure drops to 8% for those with more than 100 vehicles. With more than a million new cars bought each year (ie 57% of the market), companies are the main players in the automotive sector, well ahead of individuals (43%). To encourage companies to fulfill their obligations, on January 30, MP Damien Adam introduced a new bill, which, in particular, provides for the strengthening of electrification quotas from 2025. From this date, companies will have to integrate 30% of low-emission vehicles in their fleet, and this figure will increase to 40% in 2026. Starting next year, plug-in hybrid vehicles will be excluded from these quotas.
