The electric vehicle purchase bonus receives an additional boost for 100% European models.
Starting October 1, the purchase of an electric vehicle assembled in Europe and equipped with a European battery will be eligible for an additional bonus of €1,000. This announcement was made by Agnès Pannier-Runacher, Minister of Ecological Transition, and Marc Ferracci, Minister for Industry and Energy, highlighting a dual objective: to support households in their transition to electric vehicles and to strengthen European industrial production.
This bonus complements the existing ecological bonus, funded by energy savings certificates (CEE) since July 1, 2025. Depending on household income and the environmental score of the vehicle, the bonus could reach up to €4,200. With this new measure, eligible vehicles equipped with European batteries could benefit from a total amount of up to €5,200, providing an additional incentive to favor models produced on the continent. The list of eligible vehicles will be published by ADEME and updated monthly.
At the Heart of European Electric Vehicles
Beyond the advantage for consumers, this initiative is part of a broader strategy for reindustrialization. In the face of international competition, France and Europe aim to consolidate their industrial sovereignty by promoting local production. Many battery factories have been established in France and across the continent, and this bonus aims to support their ramp-up while encouraging manufacturers to source locally.
This approach also aligns with the logic of “European preference,” recommended by the Draghi report in September 2024, which encourages the adoption of explicit “Made in Europe” criteria for electric vehicles. It supports the orientations of the European Commission and the announcements by Stéphane Séjourné, Executive Vice President in charge of prosperity and industrial strategy.
