Question 14067 — energy and fuels

Summary

Ms. Sandra Delannoy alerts the Minister of Ecological Transition, Biodiversity and International Negotiations on Climate and Nature to the strong tensions on the energy markets and the upcoming presentation of an electrification plan aimed at reducing France's dependence on fossil fuels. This week, the Minister responsible for energy stressed the need to prioritize “workers who "drive a lot", like liberal nurses, highlighting the growing difficulties encountered by French people forced to use their vehicles to get to work. This situation particularly concerns rural areas, where the absence of transport alternatives makes these trips essential. However, the continued rise in fuel prices also poses a real risk to the purchasing power of independent as well as that of employees; some may go so far as to no longer be able to cover the cost of their home-work journeys. Taking actual costs into account in their subsequent tax returns may seem to be the obvious solution to this problem, but this taking into account will only take place in more than a year, at least. Until then, workers, whether employees or self-employed, will find themselves in financial and professional impasse. Furthermore, the electrification of the French automobile fleet as a solution reflects an inadequacy or even a lack of understanding of the needs of liberal professions regarding the autonomy that their vehicle must guarantee them. In this context, she therefore wishes to know how the Government intends to concretely and in the short term support employees dependent on their vehicle in the face of the increase in fuel prices; and how the future electrification plan will take into account the realities of rural areas as well as the specific constraints of liberal professions and workers who are highly dependent on road mobility.
