Financial assistance offered for the purchase of a electric car Or hybrid nine have existed since the beginning of the first “battery” models. But today, even if they continue to decrease, the bonuses are still interesting. And the good news is that they are not alone! Indeed, accumulating all available aid, the state “offers” to 22,000 euros discount if all planets align. Explanation…
Cumulative assistance allows you to receive up to 22,000 euros in discounts!
There is always an electric or hybrid car to buy in France lots of tax and financial help. If you are looking for a hybrid or 100% electric car, the French government always offers interesting help. But while we’re all thinking about the €5,000 eco-bonus deducted from all electric cars under €47,000, we often forget about the rest of the aids!
THE Website of the great Paris capital writes in full on his website: up to 22,000 euros of assistance for the purchase of a new electric vehicle“. A figure that makes you dream! But, in fact, how to achieve such a reduction?
The many aids available are often forgotten
In order to reach such an amount, it is actually necessary to look at everything assistance offered by the state. Here is a full list of possible financial aid:
- Ecological bonus (up to €5,000 for a vehicle worth up to €47,000 with a limit of 27% of the purchase price)
- Conversion bonus (up to 6,000 euros for an electric car)
- Assistance for the poor (replaces the environmental bonus, which increases to 7,000 euros)
- Community help (for example, the metropolis of Greater Paris: 6,000 euros)
- ZFE-m update help (up to EUR 1000 additional bonus)
- Assistance from local authorities (surcharge of 1000 euros)
The total amount of these benefits should not, according to the Law, exceed ” the purchase price, including VAT, of the specified vehicle, minus commercial discounts“. Therefore, it is even theoretically possible to reach 0 euros…
Tesla Model 3 from 19,990 euros!
Our colleagues from Karadizak it was really fun to calculate the price of a Tesla Model 3 brand new with all those discounts. And the result is amazing…! If you consider the latest price reductions from an American manufacturerthe model is twice as cheap, just the price a Vacuum cleaner ! The calculation is as follows:
41,990 euros (Base price from the beginning of March 2023 on the Tesla website)
– €7000 (increased environmental bonus for the lowest incomes)
– €6000 (conversion bonus)
– 1000 euros (surcharge ZFE-m)
– 6,000 euros (e.g. aid from the Métropole du Grand Paris)
– 2000 euros (bonus for increasing ZFE-m thanks to the help of the community)
= 19,990 euros!
Of course, this approach will only be available to the few households that meet all the conditions. But for the poorest households who live in the right place and who got rid of their old pre-2011 diesel or their old pre-2006 petrol model, it’s still possible! In any case, if you are planning to buy a new electric car, we strongly recommend that you take a look at the government website to check your eligibility for public assistance…
