I wonder if this explanation given in the article is true for France and other EU countries or some overly optimistic hope from desperate EV fans:

Despite the delivery debuts of the much anticipated Citroen e-C3, and Renault 5, the French BEV market is still significantly down in volume YoY, a deeply disappointing result. One suspects that manufacturers may already be starting to slow-pedal the delivery of BEV volumes for the remainder of 2024, in order to release those volumes in 2025, when EU regulations require tighter fleet average emissions to be met.
