#MACRON#CRISE_ENERGETIQUE Several of you are asking me about this statement by the President of the Republic on France 2 and TF1. So I put on my fact-checking journalist hat again. At the time of Emmanuel Macron's election, electric represented 1.4% of new car registrations, according to an SDES report.
