Bonus écologique 2026 (France's EV purchase bonus): an incentive on a new electric car that is income-tested. The amount depends on your household's reference tax income per part (revenu fiscal de référence par part): €3,500, €4,700 or €5,700 for the most modest households, with a possible top-up (surbonus) if the battery is made in Europe (up to about €7,700 in total in the most favourable case). The vehicle must cost less than €47,000, weigh under 2,400 kg and score at least 60/80 on the ADEME environmental rating. Not every buyer qualifies — which is why we show this incentive separately and do not fold it into the totals above. Source: ADEME / service-public.fr, as of .
