Buying an electric car using local benefits and subsidies just got easier with Beev. Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular in towns and regions all over France. They offer many advantages, including savings on fuel and maintenance costs, as well as greater environmental protection.
What local help is available?
In addition to national subsidies, many local authorities offer assistance for the purchase of electric cars. These can take the form of ecological bonuses, conversion bonuses or subsidies. The amount of these subsidies varies according to the city or region.
For example, the Île-de-France region offers a €6,000 subsidy for the purchase of a new or used electric vehicle costing less than €50,000.
How can I benefit from local aid?
To find out what local assistance is available in your town or region, you can contact your local town hall, departmental council or regional council. You can also consult our dedicated pages below. With Beev, find out about the local aid available in your town or region.
Buy your electric car at a great price and enjoy the benefits of electric driving!
