France announces a second-hand electric vehicle subsidy of €337 per vehicle, rising to €2,000–€2,360 for home care, health and personal service workers buying used EVs under €25,000. The program, financed by EDF, Engie and TotalEnergies through the energy savings certificate mechanism, will start in September. Mobilee chairman Romain Ryon called the base amount 'quite low' even as year-end coefficients provide larger premia for selected professions.
Subsidy Amounts
France's used electric vehicle incentive will offer a base payment of about €337 (18,659 TL) per vehicle. The money will come not from the state budget but from mandatory contributions by EDF, Engie and TotalEnergies under the 'polluter pays' energy savings certificate system. Mobilee chairman Romain Ryon described the base amount as 'quite low'. Until the end of the year, additional coefficients allow home care staff, health workers and personal service providers to receive €2,000–€2,360 for a used EV priced below €25,000, equivalent to about 130,673 TL.
Eligibility Rules
To qualify, buyers must purchase or lease from an institutional dealer or professional used-car seller; private sales between individuals are excluded. The vehicle must have been first registered in France between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2023. Its battery must keep at least 80% of original capacity, or deliver at least 80% of factory range or 200 km of remaining range. Recipients must hold the vehicle for at least three years. All individuals and businesses can apply regardless of income.
Taxi Support
Separately, France also announced a parallel subsidy for new electric taxis. Orders placed between 1 September and 31 December 2026 can receive about €3,500 for buyers or lessees. The measure runs alongside the used car scheme but targets commercial fleet uptake.
What's Next
The used EV scheme is set to open in September, with the enhanced coefficients for certain professions expiring at the end of the year. It remains unclear whether the base subsidy of €337 will be revised after criticism from industry figures such as Mobilee's Romain Ryon.
