While the European Union banned the sale of internal combustion cars from 2035, France still practices “terminal hunting”. Educational review@oubertalli. #OnEstNotSortisDesRonces https://t.co/uT3qUEjNe6

Several years have passed since the creation of the environmental bonus. A very interesting financial incentive for motorists, many of whom want to use it. And it is not for nothing that its amount is quite high, since currently its limit is 6,000 euros. Which forces many to switch to electricity. Especially since the vast majority so far cars with zero emissions have the right, except for those whose price exceeds the mark of 60,000 euros. But be careful because these conditions don’t have to last forever. Indeed, the measure is expensive for a government that logically wants to tighten the screws over the next few years. And just a few days ago, the Minister of Economy announced some measures in this regard.

The eastern district of Saint-Rambert on the street@A7Traffic from July 18 will offer 2 electric charging stations for refrigerators. It is an economical, ecological and quiet alternative to noisy and polluting diesel generators. https://t.co/YF2YFVSF5Q

Reduction of the amount

During the presentation in Finance Bill 2023 (PLF), Bruno Le Maire has indeed confirmed that from next year the size of the environmental bonus will be reduced to €5,000. To tell the truth, this is not surprising, because it was originally scheduled for July 1. But that’s not all. Indeed, the government also wants to limit the vehicles that can qualify. In particular, one direction is envisaged: providing assistance only to electric vehicles produced in France or Europe. A measure that has already been adopted in the United States can provide ideas for our leaders. The minister stated that ” Shouldn’t we leave an environmental bonus for models made in France or Europe? We must ask ourselves“.

Several models are at risk

This should make it difficult to purchase certain models starting with Dacia Spring, on display from €19,800 and is eligible for an environmental bonus of €5,346. It is indeed made in China, so it may lose support. The same for new and promising MG4. But Tesla models are also targeted, most of which are made in China and the United States. It remains to be seen whether the government will implement this measure or not…

There is an exception to the end of sales of diesel cars in 2035, voted by the European Parliament: luxury cars (Ferrari, etc.). Of course, there are not many of them, so emissions will be limited, but for the symbol and social justice will have to be ironed pic.twitter.com/6gPS9lc6ZE
