Bamboo coup this Tuesday for half of French people with the highest incomes. After weeks of waiting, this Tuesday the decree on the 2024 ecological bonus was published in the Official Gazette.
Aid for the purchase of an electric vehicle increases – as some media anticipate – from 5,000 to 4,000 euros. However, there are no changes for more modest homes. They will always benefit a bonus increased to 7,000 euros.
The idea a multiple amount bonus Bruno Le Maire had mentioned it since the presentation of the finance bill at the beginning of the school year. Bercy then mentioned a scale of the ecological bonus “better differentiated and decreasing depending on household income.”
Victim of his own success
The ecological bonus is clearly a victim of its success: electric models represent 20% of new vehicle sales. This forced the government this year to grant an extension of 400 million euros.
The budget line dedicated in 2023 amounted to 1.7 billion euros, compared to the 1.4 billion initially planned. And next year, the announced allocation is 1.5 billion euros. Therefore, the government is reorienting its aid mainly towards those who have the most difficulty changing vehicles.
