It's confirmed, the government is burying the conversion bonus, or scrappage bonus, for the purchase of less polluting vehicles

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.
