Ile-de-France: assistance for the purchase of an electric vehicle

Île-de-France regional aid for electric vehicles

What is regional aid for the purchase of an electric vehicle in Île-de-France?
Paris and the Île-de-France region in particular are often victims of "pollution peaks", according to Air Parif's latest report for 2022. The region has therefore decided to invest in improving air quality.

Table of contents

TheAnses (Agence nationale de sécurité sanitaire de l'alimentation, de l'environnement et du travail) recommends a 20% to 25% reduction in urban road traffic to reduce vehicle-related air pollution. These efforts are to be coupled with an increase in the electrification of cars on the road in Île-de-France.
It was precisely to accelerate the electrification of vehicles on the road that regional aid was adopted in 2017.

The regional subsidy enables you to purchase a clean vehicle and benefit from a regional subsidy.

Please note: you must be careful with regional aid. The vehicle cannot be purchased before the grant is notified. You must apply for the grant before purchasing the vehicle.

This aid replaces the TP'UP scheme, which was limited to companies with fewer than 10 employees. This scheme was less successful, as it did not meet the needs of companies in the Paris region. 

The purchase of an electric vehicle for a company is highly advantageous in this configuration, as it enables the company to replace its vehicle or fleet of vehicles, reducing its TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and improving its corporate image.

New regional aids in Île-de-France available from October 1, 2021

The Île-de-France region has set up new aids for professionals and private individuals: 

  • Up to €6,000 for the purchase of a new or used electric, hybrid, NGV or hydrogen vehicle, for private individuals living in the inner suburbs of Paris, to replace their conventional vehicle.
  • Up to 15,000 euros for very small businesses purchasing an electric or hydrogen-powered store truck to set up a mobile trade or craft business in rural communities in the Paris region.

In addition, the Île-de-France region offers assistance of up to €500 for the purchase of an electrically-assisted bicycle (VAE).


The aids described above can be combined, under certain conditions, with the following existing aids: 

  • Up to 2,500 euros for individuals and small businesses to retrofit their vehicles' internal combustion engines with electric or hydrogen motors.
  • Up to 9,000 euros for small businesses and craftsmen, for the purchase of zero-emission vehicles for their professional activities.

As a reminder, an artisan is a professional who transforms a product or service according to his or her know-how, and who does not use mass production methods. You must also have fewer than 10 employees.

Example: if you are a bakery with 8 employees, you are considered a craftsman. 

Crafts also include jewelers, carpenters, etc.

Regional aid for the purchase of an electric vehicle in Île-de-France: how to apply?

Application process

For some time now, the procedure for accessing regional grants in Île-de-France has been changing. In the past, aid was based on the estimate made in the company's name. The region had to accept the application, then place the order with the dealer. Finally, you had to send in your vehicle registration document and the paid invoice, and you received the amount of the grant.

The steps involved are now less methodical. You must apply for assistance within 3 months of the date of purchase of the vehicle on the Mes Démarches website. Then send in all the necessary documents, and that's it. To find out more, take a look at the tutorial provided by the Town Hall: Regulations & Tutorial & FAQ.
