Electric retrofit premium for a 2.3-wheel or motor quadricycle

Verified 14 March 2024 - Directorate for Legal and Administrative Information (Prime Minister)

Who can benefit from the financial aid known as the premium to the electrical retrofit of a motor vehicle with 2 or 3 wheels or a motor quadricycle (conversion of the internal combustion engine into an electric motor)? What is the amount of the aid? How do I apply? We'll show you the main rules from 14 february 2024 (invoice date).

To qualify for the so-called Electrical Retrofit Premium aid, you must meet the following conditions:

  • Be major
  • Be domiciled in France
  • Your reference tax income per unit must be less than or equal to €24,900
    Check out your 2023 tax notice on your 2022 revenues for an engine transformation in 2024.

The vehicle shall meet the following conditions:

  • Be a 2- or 3-wheel motor vehicle or a motor quadricycle (L-category vehicle)
  • The heat engine of the vehicle must have been converted into an electric battery or fuel cell engine by an authorized professional
  • Not be sold within one year of the date of invoicing of its processing, nor before having traveled at least 2,000 km

The amount of the premium for an electric retrofit for a 2,3-wheel or a motor quadricycle shall be fixed at €1,100.

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.
