Overview
- Economy Minister Roland Lescure said the bonus will be maintained next year and raised to as much as €5,700 for vehicles built in France or elsewhere in Europe.
- The maximum amount targets the most modest households, with support levels varying by income bracket.
- Since July, the program has provided roughly €4,200 for modest and intermediate households and about €3,100 for others on certain electric models.
- An additional €1,000 premium that began on 1 October for cars equipped with a European battery continues to stack on top of the main bonus.
- Eligibility depends on a regulatory environmental score, with a government website listing qualified vehicles, and Lescure highlighted the Douai-produced Renault 5 as the country’s best-selling EV.
