Are where will the electricity come from?

They can burn oil in CCGTs at 60% efficiency instead of in vehicles at 20%.

There is enough nuclear electricity in France that they are now exporting it. The use of power is very low at night in most countries, and this will allow for many cars to be charged at night. There are also many times during the day when excess power is available, but this is not the point; electricity is cheaper and cleaner to run a car even if you have to pay peak power rates. Perhaps France will import CO2 from Germany which makes a lot more of it than France and use nuclear energy to change it into methanol car fuel for negative CO2 plug-in-hybrid-operation. ..HG..

Oh bye the way! ZEBRA batteries are made in neighboring Switzerland amd they have already been tested for thousands of miles in Buses, French made cars and the TH!NK, and the only development they need is quantity production to get the costs low. The best advantage of lithium batteries is that they might eventually force the lowering of ZEBRA battery prices and production costs. ..HG..

Why is it Henry and EP fail to acknowledge a major difficulty with ZEBRA is a fixed cold start time of 24 hours? While potentially viable for fleet vehicles - the first tests of ZEBRA batteries in delivery trucks were fraught with problems.

Normaly ICE gives 15%

It amazes me that governments around Europe are offering billions of euros as sweeteners to the car industry to develop "green technology" in advance of EU legislation aimed at bringing down CO2 emissions from cars. The car makers have known for years that they needed to act on CO2 emissions - they've had the time to invest in technology and now it's up to European taxpayers to bail them out. And why should we when there is plenty of evidence to show that they can meet the targets from their existing range of cars?

Quoth sulleny:

As I've told you before, that's the problem for the particular pack, not the technology.  Increase the heater power and you could have it up and running in 15 minutes.  The battery only needs to be at 155°C to melt the electrolyte and be operational; it's roughly half again as big a problem as bringing water to a boil.

FYI:  The Zebra packs sulleny is denigrating are sold for purposes such as running submarines.  You simply don't care about fast start-up times for such applications; preparing to sail takes days, and you'll probably keep the batteries charged and hot from shore power while you're at the pier anyway.
