This kinda thing can't help but keep fuel prices down.

Interesting, electric or hybrid only cars by 2040. France also produces the overwhelming majority of its electricity by nuclear power. Certainly an interesting goal, but European travel is dramatically different from how we travel here. They have very dense city centers, whereas we are more spread out with suburbs. They have a very developed infrastructure for trains to travel longer distances, whereas we rely far more on vehicles for long distance travels.

Interesting to see how it plays out.
