French president Emmanuel Macron already unveiled new incentives to sway buyers away from Chinese models toward French and European ones, including a new €100 per month leasing scheme for EU-made electric cars, with those details announced today. The French government also announced a big rollout of cash incentives for first-time EV buyers, as long as they bought cars made in the EU.
cool, national politics always going 110% because dimwits just get super wet from it, meanwhile all countries’ car manufacturers are spiraling into an unsolvable repairability nightmare. i literally don’t care if I’m going to drive french or Chinese e-waste. i hope i didn’t care that others of my species had brain rot but we see here that it still gets to me. 😔
