From now on, the vehicle purchased or rented must benefit from a minimum environmental score to be eligible for this assistance. Until now, only the gas emissions caused by the vehicle on the road were taken into consideration to benefit from the aid.

New price criteria taken into account
This environmental score takes into account the CO2 emissions generated by the manufacturing of a vehicle. This rating will take into account:
- the model of the vehicle and in particular the number of seats
- the place of assembly
- the volume and weight of the materials used
- battery characteristics
- or the delivery and the distance traveled between the production site and the distribution location
“Until now, the State has not set any conditions on the manufacturing methods of vehicles purchased with the bonus. Hundreds of millions of euros of public money therefore went to vehicles with a very poor carbon footprint. From now on, it's over. To be eligible for the bonus, an electric vehicle must have a limited environmental impact, during the manufacturing and transport stages.”, assures Bruno Lemaire, the Minister of Economy and Finance.
22 different brands, among major French manufacturers like Renault and Peugeot, European leaders like Fiat, BMW or even Mercedes and Volkswagen, but also Tesla to our great surprise (even if there is a justification for the presence of the American manufacturer) .
