00:00 A total of 80,000 people have already made requests for information
00:03 in order to be able to benefit from an electric car at a reduced price
00:06 as part of social leasing.
00:08 The Minister of Energy Transition, Agnès Pannier-Runacher,
00:12 announced on Monday that 25,000 cars would be available this year.
00:16 Today, 80,000 people have registered on the platform to request to be contacted again,

00:42 In order to give the most modest homes access to electricity,
00:45 the State launched in December 2023 a rental system with purchase options
00:50 for LEAs at less than 100 euros for citizens and 150 euros for households without insurance and maintenance.
00:56 This system is primarily open to big-wheelers who drive more than 8,000 km a year
01:02 or live more than 15 km from their workplace.
01:05 Without initial contributions, the rental is planned for three years, renewable once.
01:10 The State finances each rental at a height of 13,000 euros.
01:14 This LEA will be open in the long term to half of the most modest households,
01:18 and the tax revenue of reference per share is less than 15,400 euros.
01:22 Manufacturers have already launched offers at breakneck prices on cars with autonomy limiting them to the daily journey.
01:29 Renault is selling its small electric Twingo, manufactured in Slovenia,
01:32 starting at 40 euros per month, maintenance included.
01:36 On the Stellantis group's side, Citroën is announcing its future C3 starting at 54 euros,
01:41 Fiat is renting its small 500th starting at 79 euros per month,
01:45 and Opel is renting its small SUV Mokka, manufactured in France, at 119 euros.
01:50 Stellantis confirmed that they were ready to put in additional vehicles
01:54 if the French were indeed at the rendezvous of this promise, said Agnès Pagny-Runacher.
01:59 Le Leasing is also open to vehicles with a range of less than three and a half years,
02:03 and to retrofit that consists of electrifying thermal cars,
02:06 the start-up Lore Moto must deliver from the spring 2024 of old Twingo.
