The 2023 environmental bonus downgraded
In July 2022, this environmental bonus has been extended until 31 December 2022 so that it can continue to encourage the purchase of electric cars. However, following a recent statement by Bruno Le Maire, the French Minister for the Economy, has announced that the ecological bonus will be reduced in 2023.. Originally, this reduction was due to take place in the second half of 2022, but we were lucky to be able to take advantage of it sooner.
As a reminder, in 2022, the The ecological bonus is capped at €6,000 for cars with a list price of less than €47,000. You can find more details in this table:
| Catégories | Depuis le 1er juillet 2021 | À partir du 1er janvier 2023 |

The 2023 ecological bonus will therefore be capped at €5,000. for cars not exceeding 47 000 €. The ceiling for cars between 47 000 € and 60 000 € initially set at 2000 € disappears completely in 2023.
2023 environmental bonus limited to certain vehicles?
You may not know it, but the United States also offers an environmental bonus to its citizens, but for some months now this has been reserved for vehicles manufactured on American soil. The aim is to prioritising local industry. Bruno Le Maire seems to like the idea, as he has said he is open to the idea.
The ecological bonus could therefore be reserved for electric cars manufactured in France, but also in Europe. Good to know, given that Citroën produces very few of its cars in France, as does Peugeot that produces its car e-208 in Spain.
In practical terms, this means that if you want to buy electric cars like the Dacia Springproduced in China, which is one of the most affordable cars on the market, we'll have to say goodbye to this bonus. However, the door is not yet closed for the purchase of a Teslawhich produces Model Y in its "Gigafactory" in Germany, since March 2022.
The decision has not yet been taken, but we hope that it will not be too restrictive for people wishing to make their ecological transition.
Conversion allowance in 2023: what will change?
The conversion bonus will also be reduced. As with the eco-bonus, the website economy.gov that we lose €1,000 on the current scale. This conversion premium will therefore be between €1,500 and €4,000, depending on your situation and the car you wish to scrap and the one you wish to recover.
