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.
