Expanded scrappage bonus and revised green bonus from 1 January 2018

Decree No. 2017-1851 of 29 December 2017 overhauls the scrappage bonus: it is paid for buying or leasing (for at least two years) a low-emission vehicle while scrapping an old diesel vehicle registered before 2006 for a non-taxpaying household or before 2001 otherwise, or a petrol vehicle registered before 1997. It sets the green bonus for an electric car at 27% of the purchase cost, capped at €6,000.
