If you are planning to buy an electric car, hurry to your dealership to take advantage of the current ecological bonus. A decree aiming to modify the amounts of this bonus will soon be signed!
We expected to see a new, lower formula for the ecological bonus at the start of 2025. But, according to media information Autoactua decree with immediate effect could be signed before this Friday, November 29!
Panic over the bonus!
The period is clearly chaotic: the finance bill is stuck in long debates within the legislative assemblies. The ecological bonus should be modified by decree, probably before the end of the week.
Once the decree is published in Official Journalbuyers will benefit from an additional day, until Saturday November 30, to order their car and take advantage of the 2024 conditions of government assistance.
Three different amounts for the 2025 bonus?
As we were talking about, the ecological bonus should be available in three different amounts in 2025.
Storing solar energy has never been easier
No need to be an electrician to collect and store solar energy. Zendure's Hyper 2000 is a Plug & Play solution that is very easy to install at home… and capable of generating up to 600 euros of electricity per year!
The biggest drop concerns the ecological bonus for people with modest incomes (less than 15,400 euros per tax share). Its amount should increase from 7,000 to 4,000 euros, the current amount of the bonus without income conditions.
The bonus of 4,000 euros currently accessible to all French people, regardless of income, will also evolve. Two amounts will be allocated based on the beneficiaries' income. For households located between the sixth and eighth income decile, the ecological bonus should be set at 3,000 euros. The two wealthiest deciles will only be entitled to 2,000 euros in aid.
It should also be noted that the ecological bonus for electric quadricycles with a license (category L7e, such as the Mobilize Duo or the Microlino) should be eliminated, just like that intended for the purchase of an electric utility vehicle. Electric cars without a license, such as the Citroën Ami or the Fiat Topolino, would clearly be spared.
Finally, remember that the conversion bonus will also be purely and simply canceled.
Will electric cars become more expensive in 2025?
With reductions ranging from 2,000 to 3,000 euros, there is a strong chance that electric cars will become more expensive in 2025. Not on the price displayed in the manufacturer's catalog, but on the amount that consumers will actually have to pay for become owners.

Pay attention to the delivery time!
We saw this this year with the numerous postponements of delivery of Citroën ë-C3s: delivery times for a new car can be particularly long.
You will need to be very careful if you order a new electric car in the coming days. Indeed, to benefit from the 2024 conditions of the ecological bonus, there should be three months of tolerance after the adoption of the decree. Please note, we are talking about the delivery time and not the order taking.
After this period, the cars delivered should benefit from the ecological bonus in its 2025 formula. Our advice is therefore to add a suspensive clause in your order form, allowing you to refuse the order if delivery exceeds three months and prevents you from taking advantage of the 2024 ecological bonus.
