Tesla Model Y: why will it still be eligible for the eco-bonus in 2024?

Tesla model Y bleu

On 15 December 2023, the French government unveiled the list of electric cars eligible for environmental bonus in 2024. One big surprise: the Tesla Model Y, produced in China, is the only Tesla to feature on this list!

From 1 January 2024, electric cars manufactured in China will no longer be eligible for the ecological bonus in France. The aim of this measure is to favour vehicles produced in Europe, in order to reduce the carbon footprint of road transport.

But how did the Tesla Model Y escape this restriction?

Tesla Model Y: the only car eligible for the eco-bonus in 2024

The year 2024 offers a unique opportunity for electric vehicle enthusiasts in France, with the Tesla Model Y emerging as the sole beneficiary of the coveted ecological bonus. This government incentive scheme is designed to encourage the adoption of environmentally-friendly vehicles.

Tesla Model Y environmental bonus: criteria to be met

To take advantage of the ecological bonus for the purchase of a Tesla Model Y in 2024, the following criteria must be met:

  • The vehicle must be new.
  • The vehicle must be electric, i.e. it must be powered by an electric motor. battery electric.
  • The purchase price of the vehicle must be less than or equal to €47,000 including tax, excluding options.
  • The vehicle must be registered in France.

The decree specifying the amounts of aid for the purchase of low-polluting vehicles was published on 13 February 2024. The ecological bonus has been reduced to €4,000. It has been abolished for companies.

Individuals

  • Reduction in the ecological bonus: €4,000 instead of €5,000 for the most affluent individuals
  • The government has confirmed a reduction in the amount of the ecological bonus for some French people, particularly households in the five highest income deciles.
  • Reduction in assistance for the purchase of new electric cars: from €5,000 to €4,000 for these taxpayers.
  • For less well-off households, the amount of the bonus remains unchanged at €7,000.
  • Change in the limit of reference tax income per unit: from €14,089 to €15,400, used as a criterion of distinction.

Professionals

  • Abolition of the ecological bonus for new private cars by legal entities.
  • Reduction of €1,000 on all bonuses for electric vans, whether for private individuals or corporate bodies.
  • The new rules come into force on 14 February, the day after the decree is published.
  • For orders placed before 14 February, the more favourable rules in force until 13 February will apply if the vehicle is delivered before 15 May 2024.

To benefit from the ecological bonus, you need to apply to theServices and Payment Agency (ASP) within six months of the date of purchase of the vehicle.

Why is the Tesla Model Y still eligible for the eco-bonus in 2024?

The Tesla Model Y will continue to be eligible for the eco-bonus in 2024, unlike the Tesla Model 3thanks to its assembly plant in Germany. The French government has introduced a new rule for the ecological bonus in 2024, which excludes electric vehicles imported from China.

It is assembled at the Gigafactory in Berlin, Germany. This plant began producing the Model Y in 2021, and is expected to reach a production capacity of one million vehicles a year by 2025.

The French government has justified this new rule by its desire to support the European car industry. China is a major producer of electric vehicles, and the exclusion of Chinese vehicles from the ecological bonus is intended to protect European manufacturers from Chinese competition.

You can even benefit from Tesla Model Y leasing.
