LFI's 2027 plan includes electric vehicle goals

La France insoumise (LFI) announced several measures during the Paris Motor Show as part of its 2027 program, aiming to electrify France’s vehicle fleet. These include a new regulatory framework and significant public investment to support the transition to electric vehicles.

France's electric vehicle production targets

LFI’s goal is to have France produce 2 million electric vehicles by 2032, a target similar to the one set by the French government in its France 2030 plan. According to a report by the Court of Audit from April 2026, 180,000 fully electric vehicles were produced in France in 2024, out of a total of 1.4 million vehicles made in the country.

Public funding and industry commitments

To achieve this goal, LFI proposes a "productive pact" between the state and manufacturers. This pact would involve increased public funding, including 1.4 billion euros from the state and 3.1 billion euros from a "public banking pole" and other unspecified actors. In return, manufacturers would be required to localize production, research, and development in France and Europe.

Shift in production strategy

LFI also aims to change the current European strategy of prioritizing value over volume, which has led to a focus on upmarket vehicles. The party wants to emphasize the production of small, affordable electric vehicles, with a target starting price of 10,000 euros. This aligns with a European framework that is already moving in this direction but, according to LFI, needs tighter criteria due to pressure from Germany.

Public rental service for electric vehicles

As part of its plan, LFI promises to establish an "affordable rental public service" by creating a public fleet of about 1.4 million vehicles by 2032. This initiative aims to provide accessible transportation options and support the broader shift to electric mobility in France.
