It does look fairly big, so it's going to be expensive as you've explained.
Some places take the weight of vehicles into account to compute incentives, giving less subsidies for heavier cars. One way or another it should be factored in.
By "some places" you mean some countries?
Yes, see information on Incentives in France
That's awesome, you almost never see the US incentivizing small vehicles. Actually have been doing the opposite for a long time with CAFE exemptions, oil subsidies, and chicken taxes.
Yes, it's a good change, although it's recent. Vehicles sizes have increased everywhere, France included, because of SUVs. It'll take time to reverse. At the same time the overall budget for EVs incentives was reduced, so it's a mixed bag.
