Some 45,000 people benefited this year. The government now wants to “focus on the ecological bonus” and social leasing.
Bercy confirms this, as part of the 2025 draft budget: the conversion bonus, granted when purchasing a low-polluting vehicle in exchange for an old car, will disappear next year. 45,000 people benefited this year, more than a million since 2018.
The government now wants “focus on the ecological bonus”, explained a spokesperson for the Ministry of the Economy, quoted Friday by France Info and AFP.
There remains the ecological bonus and social leasing
The ecological bonus (€4,000 to €7,000 depending on income) “is maintained, a choice that some of our neighbors like Germany have not made”, argues Bercy.
The most modest motorists who wish to buy a new electric vehicle will also be able to benefit from “social leasing”.

Bercy also wishes “continue to support households, particularly low-income ones, in renting clean vehicles”, via energy saving certificates.
