Used electric car: all aid for purchase 2023

Electric cars still benefit from a large ecological bonus, if they are bought new. But in the case of a used purchase ? Are we no longer entitled to anything ? Or are there also aid ? Caradisiac answers the question, with the 2023 figures, because it has evolved somewhat.

For those who are a little interested in the automobile, it is very public awareness that new electric vehicles (VE) benefit from the purchase of a substantial ecological bonus. It is currently € 5,000 for those who cost less than € 47,000. It has disappeared for models costing up to € 60,000, but is however increased by € 2,000, or € 7,000 for the most modest households (tax income of reference below € 14,089).

But, and potential buyers know it less, there are also aids to buy a VE, even when it is used.

An ecological bonus

First of all there is also an ecological bonus, As with new cars. Its amount is € 1,000, and it is assigned without income condition. To benefit from it, you still have to buy (passenger car or van of less than 3.5 t) meet the following conditions:

Newsletter

• be kept (whether purchased or rented) for a period of at least 2 years.
• to have been registered in France for at least two years on the date of invoicing of the vehicle or payment of the first rent.
• be registered in France in a final series.
• Do not belong to a member of the same tax household.
• Use electricity, hydrogen, or a combination of the two as an exclusive energy source (obviously).

There is therefore no longer a CO2 emission threshold (it was set at 20 grams/km previously), which seems logical since a VE, by definition, emits 0 g/km.

This ecological bonus for a second -hand purchase is, as for the new, limited to a payment every three years for a natural person.

A bonus on possible conversion

And there is of course always the premium for conversion, cumulative to the bonus, which involves putting an old vehicle to rebuild, and which is subject to resources.

Its amount is In addition to between € 2,500 and € 6,000 (We are talking about a purchase of VE, for thermal occasions, the amounts are different).

As a reminder, it is necessary to be eligible for the conversion premium, to destroy a diesel registered before January 1, 2011, or a petrol registered before January 1, 2006. It must also have had it for at least a year, that it is registered in France, not pledged, and not considered to be damaged vehicle (or be insured for at least one year on the date of destruction or on the date of acquisition of the new vehicle).

And we must acquire a new car, or used therefore, since this is what interests us here, which emits less than 20 grams of CO2 per kilometer (in practice it will be 0 g), operating in electricity or hydrogen (or a combination of the two) which costs less than € 47,000 including tax.

It must be kept at least a year and travel at least 6,000 km.

Then, if your tax reference income per share (RFR/PART) is less than € 22,993, the aid will be € 2,500 for the purchase of a VE.

Aid brought to € 6,000 (limited to 80 % of the vehicle price) if your RFR/PART is less than or equal to € 6,358, or if your reference tax income per share is less than or equal to € 14,089 but that the home/work distance is greater than 30 km, or if your annual mileage carried out for work with its personal vehicle exceeds 12,000 km.

If your RFR/Part is greater than € 22,993, you will no longer benefit from the conversion premium.

Good to know: a natural person can no longer benefit from the conversion bonus only once in their life as a motorist.

For residents or workers in ZFE-M

Finally, for the “lucky” who live in a ZFE-M (low mobility emission zone) or whose workplace is located in a ZFE-M, The conversion bonus is increased by € 1,000. In addition, if a local authority, or a group of local authority located in the same ZFE-M, also offers purchase aid, This increase of € 1,000 is increased by an equivalent amount using the community, up to a limit of € 2,000.

Example : If you live in a ZFE-M with a local authority which offers € 500 assistance in the purchase of a new or used car, you will receive € 1,000 in increase, plus € 500 from the community, plus € 500 of bonuses on the increase, or € 2,000 in all.

If the community provides for € 4,000 of aid, you will receive € 1,000 + € 4,000 + € 2,000, or € 7,000 in all.

Of course, the total cumulative amount of aid (bonus + conversion bonus + ZFE-M increase) cannot exceed the price TTC paid for the vehicle purchased.
