2023 efficient and electric vehicle adoption incentives

The French government allocated extended budget outlays to two consumer subsidy schemes promoting the purchase of electric vehicles, or hydrogen-based vehicles (Bonus écologique) or energy-efficient vehicles (prime à la conversion).

In addition, a new "social leasing" scheme enabling low-revenue households to rent an electric car for EUR 100/month was implemented from January to mid-February 2024. It was extremely successful, and its budget was swiftly depleted in 2024. A renewal of the scheme is announced for 2025.
