To obtain an electric vehicle starting at €100 per month through Social Leasing, there’s only one requirement… you’ll need to act quickly!
Social Leasing allows low-income households to rent an affordable electric car without an initial deposit. Launched in 2024, it experienced a huge success, with 50,000 applications filled within just six weeks. This year, the program returns with the same quotas, but registrations are expected to be even more competitive.
Because manufacturers and dealerships had anticipated this. Offers, prices, and accessible models were announced as early as summer, giving prospective buyers time to compare and prepare their applications. The fight to secure the grant will therefore be intense from tomorrow, Tuesday, September 30, 2025.
Attractive rents despite a reduced grant
Though the maximum grant decreases from €13,000 to €7,000, rents remain affordable. Most offered vehicles, such as the Citroën ë-C3, the Fiat Panda Electric, or the Hyundai Ioniq, rent between €95 and €140 per month. The legal cap is set at €200, excluding insurance and additional costs. More than thirty zero-emission models are available from numerous manufacturers: Renault, Volkswagen, Peugeot, Kia, Alfa Romeo, Jeep, and Ford.
Who can benefit from it?
To submit an application, you must:
- have a reference taxable income per share less than or equal to €16,300,
- travel more than 15 km per round trip to work or cover more than 8,000 km annually for employment reasons,
- not have previously benefited from social leasing in 2024.
You can check your eligibility using the ASP simulator (Agency for Service and Payment) or contact your dealer’s representative. About 5,000 applications are reserved for residents in low-emission zones (ZFE). Applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis, so speed is essential.
