Revised credit incentives boost sustainability by offering generous environmental bonuses for electric vehicle purchases, regardless of budget.
Eco-Bonus Reboot: Green Funding without Budget Strain
Get ready for some electric vehicle (EV) savings! Starts July 1st, the eco-bonus will undergo a transformation. No public funding – enter the energy savings certificates (CEE), paid by energy suppliers like Engie. It's a smart financial move with an unexpected benefit – even the well-off households are in for a treat!

The government is shaking up the rules for EV purchase subsidies, shifting from public funds to CEE! Expected to be discussed in the Superior Energy Council on June 17th, this reform aims to reduce pressure on our strained public finances while supporting the clean vehicle market.
As sales of electric models dropped by 7% since the year's start, it's essential to reignite interest with a less expensive formula. The new eco-bonus (the name is changing) will boast significantly increased allocations – and it's good news for everyone!
Increased Incentives: Affordable EVs for All
Say goodbye to the old, government budget-funded eco-bonus. Hello, even more significant funding through CEE! Here's the breakdown:
- Low-income Households: The bonus increases from €4,000 to €4,200.
- Intermediate Households: Up to €4,200, compared to the previous €3,000.
- Wealthy Households: Watch out for savings of up to €3,100, compared to the previous €2,000.
This re-evaluation could become a game-changer as wealthier households represent an essential portion of the electric market.
Off-Peak Hours: Cheaper Refills for Your EV
There's a catch – transitioning to the CEE system for private EVs might not run smoothly due to its recent arrival in the sector. Car dealerships warn of potential friction in the purchasing process due to insufficient training on this new financing method.
Additionally, the unlimited envelope of the CEE system could lead to complexity in managing high funds aimed at accelerating the electric transition. And starting September, social leasing (affordable EVs starting at €100 per month) will also be covered by CEE, further increasing the need for streamlined processes.
