Despite being produced in China, the entire range of Tesla Model 3 now benefits from a CEE Bonus in France. That’s still something…
Every little bit helps. Thus, while the Tesla Model 3 was excluded from the CEE Bonus program due to its poor environmental score (related to its production location in China), it is now eligible for another CEE Bonus. Do you feel lost? That’s normal.
There are two CEE Bonuses for purchasing an electric vehicle, aimed at motivating the decarbonization of France. The more generous one is known as the “CEE Boost,” with amounts ranging from 3100 to 4200 euros depending on your income. It’s definitely better than the 2000 euros offered by the old ecological bonus until July 1, 2025.
Then there is the “small” CEE Bonus, referred to as “Classic,” and its amount depends on the manufacturer and the agreement signed with the state. This is the one we are discussing in this article.

If the electric vehicle you plan to buy or lease is eligible for the CEE Boost, then it will not qualify for the Classic bonus. Are you still with me?
In the case of the Tesla Model 3, the aid amounts to 350 euros. While this is certainly less than 1% of the car’s purchase price, it’s worth repeating: every little bit helps. Those 350 euros could be better invested elsewhere.
With the current promotion – across the entire range of Model 3 – of 3100 euros, which is equivalent to the CEE Boost but paid out by Tesla, the electric sedan has never been more appealing. It now costs 36,914 euros for the entry-level Propulsion version, with over 500 km of range.
It’s important not to delay, as this internal competition poses a problem for Tesla in selling its new Model Y, which is now much more expensive. However, Tesla is currently facing challenges, so promotions might just stick around for some time.
