The French State Plans to Force You to Drive an EV

French Minister of Energy Olga Givernet expressed her frustration, declaring, “I am ready to take strong action on compulsory measures,” signaling the government’s intent to impose stricter regulations on companies for not transitioning to greener vehicle fleets quickly enough.

This push for adopting electric vehicles (EVs) is part of a larger agenda to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainability in France and Europe .

French government’s approach to greening’ corporate vehicle fleets is emblematic of the broader issue of state intervention in the economy.

Companies with over 100 cars must buy 20 percent of low-emission vehicles when renewing their fleets.

This kind of mandate could lead to significant financial strain for smaller companies operating on tighter margins.
