Actually that's a reasonable catch

'The incentive program, as reported by The Times, offers many opportunities for those in France to get a little help with that , but the bling subsidy is actually for those who are swapping their gas-guzzling, greenhouse gas-spewing automobile for an e-bike.

It also only applies to lower income households in specific urban areas'

Show thread

Rough maths/€ to AUD ($6160.60) 's existing 'Zero Emissions Vehicle Roadmap' $100m budget could provide approximately 16k as car replacement, or contribute towards part thereof

Superior ROI
Reduce emissions
Increased happiness
