French president Emmanuel Macron already unveiled new incentives to sway buyers away from Chinese models toward French and European ones, including a new €100 per month leasing scheme for EU-made electric cars, with those details announced today. The French government also announced a big rollout of cash incentives for first-time EV buyers, as long as they bought cars made in the EU.

100€ a month for ppl that can afford to buy an ev while most ppl drive a 20 year old car that is falling apart bc ppl can't afford a new one seems like is not really helping the people thay need help

So I wasn't sure which one of us misunderstood so I went to read on the French page, and it is indeed a scheme where people with low income can lease the car for 100€ per month, as in that's what they'll have to pay per month, rather than a discount on the price of a normal lease.
