... but only if you live in France. "The new Citroen e-C3, one of the cheapest electric sub-compact models in Europe, has just slid into even sweeter territory for low-income customers in France. Thanks to the government-backed "social leasing" initiative, aimed at giving low-income families a taste of electric mobility, the e-C3 can be had for as little as EUR54 ($59) per month, locking in a three-year contract without the need of a down payment.
*** "Additionally, a selection of used cars newer than 42 months old will be available for lease as more affordable alternatives. "The only EV from a non-Stellantis brand confirmed to participate in the program is the upcoming Renault Twingo E-Tech. Given the promised sub-EUR20k ($22k) price tag, it´s likely that the new Twingo will be one of the most affordable options in the program. Additionally, the upcoming Renault 5 E- Tech and the VW ID.2 could also join the pack when they arrive in 2024 and 2025 respectively. *** "To qualify for social leasing, you must be a resident of France, have an annual income of up to EUR15,400 ($16,815), travel more than 8,000 km (4,971 miles) per year, and live at least 15 km (9 miles) away from your workplace."
