In France, there are new rules for subsidies for EVs. Only some cars are eligible, and Chinese cars are notoriously absent. The reason given is that the environmental cost of delivering cars from China is too great. But to me, if it isn't protectionism, I don't know what is. So no Dacia Spring, which is one of the most popular EVs in Europe, because of its low price and no-nonsense design. Nothing from BYD either. As for Tesla, only the Model Y (made in Germany) is eligible.
