Leased electric cars for 100 euros a month: Macron's plan for low-income families

The aim of the plan is to make electric cars, which are generally more expensive, accessible even to less well-off families

Leased electric cars for 100 euros a month: Macron's plan for low-income families

Electric cars for leasing at 100 euros per month for low-income families. This is the plan the French government is working on with the dual aim of making up for the soaring fuel prices – in turn due to the increase in the cost of energy – and helping the environment by encouraging the spread of non-electric vehicles pollutants. 

In France cheaper leasing for electric cars

The announcement came from the Minister of the Transalpine Budget, Gabriel Attal, who announced his intention to make leasing cheaper of electric vehicles. The cost should be around 100 euros a month, a figure lower than what many people spend on fuel, highlighted the minister.

Macron keeps his promise

The measure is part of the electoral promises of the President of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron who, before his re-election to the Elysium, had announced his intention to launch a social leasing program sponsored by the state and aimed at less well-off families. A plan also created in order to counter the criticisms that, even with the subsidies, electric cars would still exist too expensive for ordinary citizens.

At the moment, in fact, they are planned in France discounts of up to 6 thousand euros for those who buy an electric vehicle under 47 thousand euros, a figure to which is added an additional incentive in the event of the scrapping of old vehicles with combustion engines. Such high access costs could explain why the draft car market is struggling to take off across the Alps.
