Electrical retrofit

The amount of the premium varies according to your income.

Your reference tax income per share is more than €15,400 and less than or equal to €24,900

The amount of aid depends on the class of vehicle:

  • Class I : 40 % of the purchase price up to €4,000
  • Class II : 40 % of the purchase price up to €6,000
  • Class III : 40 % of the purchase price up to €8,000

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 has paid you similar assistance to buy or rent a vehicle clean, 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 professional who performs the engine transformation makes the advance of the help.

The advance payment of the aid is made at the time of invoicing and must appear on the invoice: there is a specific line indicating the amount of aid granted.
