The PCF is arguing for development and of a subsidized Kei-like electric car (basically a 10k€ EV), and a retraining of car manufacturing workers before any punitive incentive (ZFE, carbon tax on car fuel). This is hardly anti-electric.
I don't know about reporterre though, I've heard of them but I don't think they really have any influence on anyone other than Greenpeace afficionados.
Also? The R5 is great, and I bet the backlog is really long.
The PCF was strongly against the interdiction of new thermal car sales in 2035. This is the kind of struggle that will kill small electric cars business opportunities.
Even the "punitive" vocabulary is political and mostly comes from right-wind politicians.
Yes the R5 is great and way cheaper than the mean car price.
