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.

So I wasn't sure which one of us misunderstood so I went to read on the French page, and it is indeed a scheme where people with low income can lease the car for 100€ per month, as in that's what they'll have to pay per month, rather than a discount on the price of a normal lease.

    He was always like this and has been distributing public money left and right. France's public spending and taxation as a share of GDP are at all time highs.

    It's just the French left thinks everybody to their right is a spawn of Reagan and Thatcher.
