Electric cars in Nîmes

Nîmes is planning to set up a low-emission zone (ZFE) in its city center by 2025. This news has particularly displeased the region's motorcyclists, who would be banned from using their diesel-powered vehicles in the city. They believe that the 3% of traffic represented by diesel-powered motorcycles can have no impact on pollution. As a result, 600 angry motorcyclists demonstrated when this news was announced.

Assistance for the purchase of an electric car in Nîmes as a private individual

Regional assistance

You can get up to €6,000 in aid for your electric car if you live in Occitanie. This regional aid is reserved for the purchase of electric vehicles.

Ecological bonus

The ecological bonus is changing! With changes scheduled for January 1, 2023, the ecological bonus will drop from €6,000 to €5,000. This bonus is deducted directly from the price of the vehicle by the leasing company or dealer.

Conversion premium

You can also benefit from the "prime à la conversion" (conversion bonus) of up to €5,000, depending on your household income. The conversion bonus is government assistance for all French people to buy a new, less-polluting diesel, petrol, electric or rechargeable hybrid vehicle, whether used or new.

For some time now, the Occitanie region has been stepping up its support to encourage individuals to think more ecologically and frugally. The region has set up the "eco-chèque logement", a grant ranging from €1,000 to €1,500 for energy-saving work in the home. The one we're interested in now is the eco-mobility cheque. This aid, ranging from 50 to 2,000€, serves as a bonus for individuals wishing to acquire an electric vehicle of any kind. The President of the Occitanie region has declared: "The region's priority is to act on the purchasing power of Occitanie's inhabitants, as well as to accompany them towards better mobility". 

So, since 2019, you can benefit from aid on the purchase of an electric vehicle of up to €2,000. However, this aid only applies to used electric vehicles. You can also benefit from a €100 subsidy for the purchase of an electric vehicle or bicycle, as well as a €50 subsidy for the acquisition of safety equipment. The region's ambition is to become the first positive-energy region in Europe.
