Bold of them to assume the US is going to have electricity in 2030.

Meanwhile: Août 2026 : plus de 42 000 ventes et 38 % du marché,
August 2026, 38% of cars sold were electric in France.
That's today people, it will come to where you live too!
I can't express how glad I am by reading that line.
I work with people that are constantly parroting EVs are not taking off anywhere besides my own country (Portugal) and one of them has family and travels often to France and always says the french are not buying into the EVs scam.
Gets tiresome.
Tire-some? Yeah they are gas-lighted and resists IMO.
I wouldn't go as far as saying the people are gaslighted as they are just being averse to change. I'll concede that much.
Renault is making huge EV sales.
Are the car competitive? Dacia has been showcasing a few fully electric models here but the bulk of the EVs I'm seeing are mostly from Tesla, Volvo, Polestar, MG, KIA and Hyundai. I've even seen a fully electric Jaguar SUV. Most of these cars are in the higher price tier.
Difference is in the US the govt made chinese EV completely illegal. It should come here, it should have two years ago, but our country is currently led by a child sex trafficker so things are complicated.
But in France the government supports EVs. In US, they would ban them if it weren't for Tesla.
Pretty disappointing.
Yes, the EVs available here are pretty disappointing
What’s disappointing about them? Lots of great options. Many at around 30k that get 300 miles.
They’re all SUVs. And they all have a giant iPad.
There are smaller options with less than 300 miles if you’d like.
The screens you can’t escape from easily, but that trend is not specific to EVs.
Such as?
There just the leaf left. Everything else got discontinued or turned into a larger version.
But they also look hideous, and have a weird, upright seat position that will murder my back, and don’t go vroom
This is just a guess but I don't think there will be as many vehicle sales regardless of what they are. The cameras and microphones and kill switches aren't exactly anything I want in a car.
nope their government told them they don't want EV's with free elektricity
