France Bans Fossil Fuel Cars by 2040
Part of French New Mobility Law
More Mobility, Less Carbon Dioxide
The goal of the government of France is to be carbon neutral by 2050. Today, the government of President Emmanuel Macron upheld a planned ban on gas and diesel (fossil fuel) powered cars by 2040. The government will ban their sale by 2040 in order for France to become carbon neutral by 2050. This bold initiative is part of the government's new law on mobility to help the environment.
Green, Alternative Fuels
The ban on fossil fuel cars demonstrates President Macron's commitment to the environment. This despite the fact that until now, the government has not publicized support for the ban. The French government also plans to help its car makers go electric, hydrogen and biofuel. The deployment of Electric Vehicle (EV) charging stations will also be facilitated. That includes an innovative provision to allow the right to apartment building dwellers to ask for EV plugs in their parking lots.
Fewer Traffic Jams, Innovative Approach to More Mobility
Other innovative components of the French Mobility Law include offering employees a tax-free, 400 euro subsidy to go to work by bike or car pool. France is also providing legal structures for free-floating scooters, bikes and car sharing to increase mobility without contributing to climate change. A final version of the Mobility Law is expected this coming summer. For a free Kindle borrow of my book "List of Top New Environmental Innovations" go to amazon.com/author/ekane ASIN: B07MNJL5J1
