And yet, the most popular French SUV won't be a taxed a single € as part of this super malus (Peugeot 3008 and 5008).

> Under a law adopted by parliament this week, cars emitting carbon dioxide above a certain threshold will be subject to a 20,000 euros ($22,240) penalty in 2020
So that seems to be because they don't pollute as much
But contrast a 5008's 120 g/km with the average American gas guzzler doing 350+ g/km. All in all this is a good development imo.
> In 2020, the central government will give as much as 6,000 euros toward the purchase of an electric car costing less than 45,000 euros.
This looks like an anti-Tesla threshold, all the while pushing people to go towards electric cars that either you buy but rent the battery, such as Renault Zoé, or with poor autonomy.
Besides, aren't Model 3 and the coming Cybertruck below that limit?
> ces véhicules ne sont construits ni en France, ni même par nos constructeurs nationaux
"those vehicles are neither built in France nor by our national automakers"
