EV rollout expands in Europe, France boosts leasing

Entities: Leapmotor B03 · China · Sumar · Europe · Renault

Overview

Renault’s European EV push continues with the refreshed Megane E‑Tech, now built at Douai with a 67 kWh LFP battery delivering up to 500 km WLTP range and 165 kW DC fast‑charging. The update adds a new front design, Google‑based infotainment and Vehicle‑to‑Load capability, and is offered in Techno and Esprit Alpine trims.

Renault Trucks also unveiled the E‑Tech T electric race truck, which will serve as the pace truck for the French truck championship and compete in a 24‑hour race, signalling the brand’s ambition in heavy‑duty electric mobility.

Leapmotor’s compact B03 hatchback, the export version of China’s A05, is slated for a European launch in autumn. With two powertrains (95 hp/40 kWh and 123 hp/53 kWh) and an optional LiDAR‑based assistance system, the model targets a sub‑€25,000 price point and may be assembled in Europe through Stellantis partnership to avoid tariffs.

France deepens its support for electric mobility. Building on the existing CEE‑based scheme, the government is proposing subsidies of €6,500‑€9,500 for used EV purchases to stimulate fleet turnover and protect residual values, while maintaining strict professional‑installation rules for home chargers above 3.7 kW. The third edition of the French social‑leasing programme, launched on 16 July, expands capacity to 150 000 low‑income households over three years after strong demand exhausted the 2024‑25 quotas. The model has sparked interest in Spain, where legislators are studying a similar scheme.

Together, these actions illustrate a broader diversification of EV models, battery technologies, and government incentives across Europe, reinforcing market growth and infrastructure readiness.
