Then, the amount allocated depends on your income.

If your household’s RFR per share is less than 6300 euros, the conversion bonus you will be paid will reach 5000 euros (up to 80% of the purchase price) if you buy a plug-in hybrid with the approved all-electric range is at least 50 km. Otherwise, its amount will be 3,000 euros.
