It had been almost 15 years since it had been held in Laval. The car show continues until this Saturday at Espace Mayenne. New vehicles, used vehicles, campers, utility vehicles, there is something for everyone. Enough to do business with the 30 exhibitors. In the aisles of the car show, the main car brands are highlighting electric models. There are indeed more and more fans in Mayenne.
Nathan Retrouvey, sales advisor at Volkswagen, is selling more and more electric vehicles in Mayenne. “It keeps growing. Today, there are between two and three electric vehicles out of ten sold. Which is pretty good when you know that just two years ago, we were struggling to sell one vehicle in ten“. Despite everything, there are still many obstacles to purchasing. To convince his customers, Nathan Retrouvey does not neglect the decisive step: the full-scale test of the vehicle.

“This is what makes the purchase project a reality. Without trying it, it is complicated to look into this type of vehicle. Having them try it allows you to fully understand the interest of this ecological transition” continues the professional. At the auto show, brands are fighting a preconceived idea, that of an exorbitant price for electric cars. With the social leasing set up by the State on January 1, Mayenne residents with modest incomes were able to afford this type of vehicle, says Marie Ramirez, sales representative at Citroën.
“For example, we had two vehicles available: the new C3 and the new C4 at prices of €54 per month. So that’s the price of an internet box. And we had the C4 which was €149 per month at the most. So it’s true that these are interesting budgets” she ends. The State could renew this social leasing for electric vehicles in 2025.
