  • Electric cars have their subsidies reduced, but EV two-wheelers and micro-mobility devices lose them altogether.

The French government has significantly reduced electric vehicle (EV) incentives due to budget constraints, as reported by MSN. Previously, EV buyers could receive up to €5,000 in subsidies, but these have now been cut to a maximum of €4,000 for individuals with the lowest incomes, with no incentives available for those earning above a certain threshold. This decision comes amidst a broader effort to manage public spending, with the government citing the need to redirect funds to other pressing areas like education and health. The move has sparked concerns among environmental groups and the automotive industry, fearing it might slow down the adoption of electric vehicles in France, a country that has been pushing for greener transportation options. Critics argue that this could undermine France's climate goals, while supporters of the cut highlight the necessity of fiscal responsibility.
