Overview
- The 2025 allocation of 50,000 subsidized electric-car leases was fully taken up a little over three months after the program reopened in September.
- Forty-five percent of beneficiaries fall within the bottom three income deciles, and 55% of orders come from rural households.
- The Renault 5 accounts for about a quarter of orders, French brands exceed two-thirds of bookings, and 34% of vehicles are manufactured in France.
- Backed by €350 million from energy savings certificates, the aid can reach €7,000 per car, targeting monthly payments under €200 with entry offers near €100.
- The government has not announced whether the scheme will be renewed for a third round in 2026.
