Aid for purchasing an electric car appears to be decreasing. While the conversion bonus will disappear in 2025, it will be drastically reduced, according to the information. echoes. This year it amounts to 5,000 euros and even 7,000 euros for the most modest households (reference tax income less than 15,400 euros), according to the economic newspaper it will increase to a maximum of 4,000 euros.
Taxpayers whose income is between the 6th and 8th deciles will only receive 3,000 euros, those in the last two deciles will only receive 2,000 euros.
Utilities and ATVs excluded.
Beyond this reduction, some vehicles will no longer be eligible, such as quadricycles, two-wheelers or even utility vehicles. Bad news, since the debate on the greening of fleets has once again come to the fore in recent weeks. In addition, vehicles purchased by fleets become used vehicles for individuals a few years later, explains a professional who fears a drop in the number of used electric cars in the coming years.
Latest news about this 2025 bonus, as specified by the specialized media autoactu: from a contrary logic, the system will change to that of an envelope. Basically, first come, first served. Once the allocation allocated in the budget has been exhausted, buyers will no longer benefit from the bonus. However, as we clarified a few days ago, the global allocation for the bonus and social lease will only be 700 million euros. Compared to the 1.5 billion euros allocated this year to aid for electric cars.
The publication of the decree relating to the bonus is expected in the coming days and, according to Les Echos, the new amounts could be applicable immediately. At the end of October, 238,269 electric vehicles were registered in France, that is, about 8,000 more vehicles than last year in the same period. Industry professionals are especially concerned, because to meet emissions standards next year, one in five registered cars will have to be electric. They represent only 17% of sales during the first 10 months of 2024.
