Tesla Model Y, Nissan Ariya, BMW iX1: the victims of the new 2023 bonus

The government has made a decision, and unsurprisingly, has chosen to be less generous. Many electric models are now deprived of the ecological bonus.

2023 begins with a series of legislative changes. Concerning automobiles, the government has decided, among other measures, to review the ecological bonus scheme for purchasing an electric model. Below €47,000, the aid now reaches €5,000 for most French people, and €7,000 for modest households. Above that, it’s simple: the buyer no longer receives any aid from the state. An important development compared to 2022, when a €2,000 bonus was granted for electric cars sold between €47,000 and €60,000.

Unsurprisingly, this change affects a significant number of models. We have compiled a list, only specifying the version (motor and/or battery) when it was crucial in determining the bonus. For example, on a Tesla Model 3, only the Propulsion version is under €60,000 and therefore entitled to the €2,000 bonus. In the range of a vehicle like the Toyota BZ4x, there is a version priced at €54,000, and another below €47,000, which will still be eligible for a bonus in 2023. A third possible scenario: all variants of a vehicle fall within the €47,000 to €60,000 range. This is the case with the Nissan Ariya.
