Reduced excise duty on electricity for charging electric heavy goods vehicles and a fossil kerosene contribution to fund synthetic fuels

A reduced electricity excise rate (€0.5/MWh instead of €26.35/MWh) would be created for charging fully electric road freight vehicles over 7.5 tonnes, subject to authorisation by the Council of the EU. The article would also create a support mechanism for synthetic aviation fuels, ultimately funded by a contribution from suppliers on fossil kerosene released for consumption in mainland France. It would extend the TIRUERT (incentive tax for renewable energy use in transport) until its replacement by the IRICC, by 1 January 2028 at the latest.
