## Resource

The government’s new ICE2EV plan offers a sweet €5K bonus for trading in old cars for EVs—but with just €10M funding, it’ll barely scratch the surface of the 738K aging vehicles on the road. It’s likely to benefit only wealthier families with second cars, not the average driver. Meanwhile, the EV grant threshold drops to €50K in July, forcing buyers of pricier models to act fast—or pay more. Expect a wild July sales spike followed by a quiet second half as shoppers wait for better deals. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
