Bonus/malus é ecological: all the information on the 2024 scale

The ecological bonus/penalty will further evolve to a higher level. from January 1, 2024. Many criteria will be stricter to be able to benefit from state aid which should however broaden to include: more households.

Like every year, the ecological bonus/penalty will change again next year. Until then only concentrated on gas emissions greenhouse effect emitted when driving by new electric vehicles, the ecological bonus-malus system will extend to new criteria which are scheduled to come into force on January 1, 2024. Good news for households, the amounts of government aid should be revised to the increase for the most modest households, but also for those of the middle class.

But, still with the aim of “decarbonizing the roads”, the government will tighten the criteria for awarding ecological vouchers and increase the penalty for the most polluting vehicles ( see below). Thus, the environmental performance of the production of electric cars and their assembly will now also be taken into account in the allocation of the ecological bonus-malus. 

It "will be based in particular on the carbon footprint of vehicle production," the government specified in a press release. published on Friday July 28, 2023. CO2 emissions emitted by materials used in the industry the manufacture of cars and their transport (planes, boats, trains, etc.) from their production factories will contribute to each model's costs. the assignment of an "environmental score". To remain eligible for the ecological bonus, and therefore to Before awarding a bonus to buyers, these models will have to achieve a score, the precise calculation methods of which will be revealed in the coming weeks.

Note that the manufacture of the battery, which generates high carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and the type of vehicle (city car, sedan, SUV), in particular their weight, will be ;also taken into account in the calculation of this "environmental score". The government's ultimate objective will be to essentially encourage the purchase of electric vehicles produced in France and in Europe at the expense in particular of those manufactured on the domestic market. Asian. To find out all about the vehicles affected by the ecological bonus/penalty in 2023, the conditions for obtaining it and the new scale for 2024, follow the guide!

The ecological bonus is a sum of money allocated to buyers of new vehicles which emit little CO2. The bonus amount is deducted from the purchase price of the vehicle if the dealer agrees to advance the bonus amount. Otherwise, the purchaser of the vehicle must request payment of the bonus by sending a bonus payment request form to the Services and Payment Agency (ASP). À Conversely, the ecological penalty increases the purchase price of highly polluting vehicles. The penalty is paid at the time of vehicle registration.

The bonus-malus system applies to new private vehicles purchased in France or abroad. abroad. The ecological penalty concerns vehicles whose first registration in France was carried out after August 1, 2008. The ecological bonus no longer concerns only electric or fuel-efficient cars. hydrogen since January 1, 2023.

There existed but no longer exists since December 31, 2022. Before this date, government aid was much less than for an electric car since its amount was 1000 euros for a plug-in hybrid vehicle (PHV) with a maximum value of 50,000 euros, whose CO2 rate was between 21 and 50 g/km, and whose CO2 rate was between 21 and 50 g/km, autonomy was greater than 50 kilometers.

While waiting to know the new scale of the ecological bonus by the end of the year, here are the amounts valid until December 31, 2023:< /p>

  • The weight of electric or gas-powered vehicles hydrogen must be less than 2.4 tons, at with the exception of vehicles of category M2 or with weight exemption up to 3.5 tons.

The amounts of the penalty will change in 2024 with a trigger threshold lowered again. The bar will go from 118 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions to 118 grams of carbon dioxide (CO2). against 122 grams in 2023. Also, the amount of the penalty, limited to à 50,000 euros previously, can now reach 60,000 euros for vehicles emitting more than 193 grams of CO2 per kilometer traveled. Finally, if he could not until then never exceed 50% of the purchase price of the vehicle, this will no longer be the case in the future. from January 1st.

  • At 118 grams of CO2:  it will be necessary to add 50 euros of ecological penalty to the price of the car.

  • We then add 20 euros per additional gram of CO2 up to 122 grams/CO2. 126 grams/CO2.
  • At 130 grams of CO2 per kilometer, the ecological penalty rises to 130 grams of CO2 per kilometer. 310 euros (compared to 210 euros in 2023)
  • At 140 grams of CO2 per kilometer, the ecological penalty rises to 140 grams of CO2 per kilometer. 983 euros (compared to 540 euros in 2023).
