The amount of State aid shall be fixed at 40 % of the acquisition cost up to €3,000.

The amount of the conversion premium may be combined with the amount of the ecological bonus.

Please note

You benefit from a extra premium of €1,000 if you live or work in a low-emission mobility zone (LMA). If your local authority paid you a grant to buy or rent a vehicle clean against the destruction of an old vehicle, the overpremium is increased of the amount of local aid up to €2,000 additional. For example, if the local aid is €3 000, the additional premium is €1 000, plus €2 000 = €3 000.

The cumulative amount of aid for the same vehicle (ecological bonus, conversion premium, retrofit premium) must not exceed the acquisition cost TTC: titleContent of this vehicle.

This amount includes any additional premiums received (‘additional premium’) overseas for the bonus, “overpremium low-emission area mobility for the conversion premium and the retrofit premium).

The cost of acquisition TTC: titleContent of the vehicle is increased, if necessary, by the cost of the battery rented.

For a legal person, the amount of the aid shall be fixed at 40 % of the acquisition cost within the limit €1,500.
