French electric vehicle market developments
Overview
The French automotive market is experiencing shifts in competition and infrastructure, particularly within the electric vehicle (EV) sector. Projections indicate that the market for recovering materials from end-of-life lithium-ion batteries could reach approximately one billion euros by 2028.
In terms of market competition, American manufacturer Lucid is expanding its presence in France, planning to showcase luxury models at the Paris Motor Show to compete with established German brands. Meanwhile, Stellantis has reported a 28.2% share of the French passenger and light commercial vehicle market for the first nine months of 2026. While Stellantis maintains a strong position in hybrid segments, its 21.3% share of the EV market is lower than its overall market share. This position is supported by the integration of the Chinese EV startup Leapmotor.
