France Relaunches Social EV Leasing With 50,000 Cars Starting September 30

The scheme targets modest‑income commuters with monthly payments capped below €200.

Le dispositif du leasing social destiné aux plus modestes est de retour en 2025. Mais seuls les 50 000 premiers candidats pourront bénéficier du programme, qui permet de rouler dans une voiture électrique pour moins de 200 euros par mois.

Overview

  • Only the first 50,000 eligible applicants can secure a three‑year lease on a new electric car through participating dealerships.
  • Eligibility centers on social and usage criteria, including a fiscal reference income of €16,300 or less and commuting more than 15 km to work or driving at least 8,000 km annually for professional use.
  • Monthly rents must stay under €200 with at least one offer per lessor below €140, no upfront deposit beyond the first payment is required, and a minimum of 12,000 km per year is included.
  • The leasing aid cannot be combined with other EV incentives, maintenance is optional and can push the monthly cost above €200, and prior 2024 beneficiaries are excluded.
  • Franceinfo reports the 2025 edition is fully financed by energy suppliers for €370 million, and the ministry cites typical home‑charging costs near €3.5 per 100 km with August public‑charging averages at €0.38/kWh (normal) and €0.49/kWh (fast).
