Towards better accessibility of electric cars? It should be possible to reserve these vehicles as of next fall to take advantage of them from 2024. The device presented by Elisabeth Borne on February 24 will allow the most modest to drive a vehicle with a lower energy impact, subject to paying 100 euros per month. We take stock of this measure.

The reservation of electric cars will soon be possible. As of next fall, individuals will be able to register for the system and receive, in 2024, a electric carconfirmed the Prime Minister during the presentation of its infrastructure plan.

Benefit French manufacturers
This first projection estimated at 100 000 the number of electric vehicles made available. Manufacturers such as Hyundai or Renault have already launched such leasing offers. They might align with the government’s measure if the first contribution was guaranteed by the deposit fund, as the President had put forward in 2022, in particular for “couples who earn the minimum wage or a little more”.
It will also be necessary to take care that the leasing practiced by the foreign builders does not take place at the expense of the production of the manufacturers of French cars.
