It’s official, the electric car rental program (social leasing) will leave for a tour this year. The formula, which allows you to rent an electric vehicle per € 100 per month or less, has been confirmed in a decree of Official Journal dating back to the end of June. The system launched last year was a nice success with 50,000 files accepted, out of a total of 90,000 requests. It must be renewed until 2030, but the terms change from year to year.
Help divided by two
The target of the program in 2025 is to support financially ” at least 50,000 electricity cars for modest households ». The ambition therefore does not change compared to last year, and the decree adds that the program must finance ” At least 5,000 cars for people whose home or workplace is located in a municipality, part of the territory is located within an area for air quality ».
We are no longer talking about ZFE (low -emission zones), for a simple reason: the administrative structure of these areas must indeed evolve in the coming months. The ambition is therefore there … but not necessarily the means. The total budget envelope devoted to the system amounts to 369 million euros – half less than that of 2024 (650 million).
Consequently, motorists who want to take advantage of the windfall will have to be satisfied with a limited aid to 7,380 euros, instead of the 13,000 euros from last year. This is likely to bid the cost of rental strictly speaking: there is chances that it frankly get closer to the fateful threshold of 100 €! And to make sure, ” Financial support cannot be combined with the ecological bonusReminds the decree.
The Official Journal Also indicates that social leasing is subject to income conditions. How much ? The decree does not specify it, but one can think that the 2024 criteria will apply in 2025, namely a tax income of reference less than or equal to € 16,300 per year and per share. As for eligible vehicles, it will be necessary to wait for the publication of the program agreement to know them.
According to Bfmtvit is likely that cars that can benefit from the ecological bonus will be eligible, which makes sense. These vehicles must weigh less than 2.4 tonnes, display a range of at least 200 km and do not cost more than € 47,000. THE JO does not specify when the program restarts, but the start of the school year could be the right time. And you shouldn’t hang around to take advantage of it!
