According to information from Les Échos and franceinfo, the government is preparing to significantly reduce the amount of the ecological bonus, aid aimed at supporting buyers of electric vehicles. A decree must be published on Wednesday November 27 with immediate implementation.
Bad news for those who were planning to buy an electric vehicle in the coming months. The executive intends to drastically reduce the amount of the ecological bonus, indicate our colleagues from Les Échos and franceinfo, Tuesday November 26. A decree should be published to this effect this Wednesday in the Official Journal with immediate implementation.
The conversion bonus should disappear
The maximum amount of the ecological bonus for the purchase of an electric vehicle should increase from 7,000 to 4,000 euros, according to information from franceinfo. This aid will even be reduced to 3,000 euros, or even 2,000 euros, for the wealthiest households. The government also plans to eliminate the conversion bonus, which could be combined with the ecological bonus. This aimed to help owners of old polluting vehicles to change cars.
Companies are not spared by the decree either, since the bonus for utility vehicles is also preparing to disappear, our colleagues report. Finally, the “social leasing” system should only be renewed from summer 2025. This rental with purchase option has enabled more than 50,000 households to drive an electric vehicle for around 100 euros per month. . All these decisions were anticipated since the sharp drop in the envelope dedicated to aid for the purchase of an electric car (ecological bonus, conversion bonus, “social leasing”), the amount of which increased from 1.5 billion euros this year to 700 million euros as part of the 2025 Budget.
