Today, France has revealed its list of electric vehicles now eligible for federal tax incentives of up to €7,000. EVs made in China – including Tesla’s Model 3 and the Dacia Spring, the cheapest EV on the market – didn't make the cut.

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.
