Since September 1, 2026, the Certificats d'Économies d'Énergie (CEE) program has seen major changes in the automotive industry. Previously, two separate incentives existed: the ecological bonus, funded directly by the state, and CEE primes, supported by energy suppliers. On July 1, 2025, the ecological bonus was renamed "Coup de Pouce Véhicules particuliers électriques" and is now also funded through CEE. This shift means the amount of aid now varies based on income and available offers, replacing the previous fixed amounts. While the two programs are still not cumulative, a more flexible CEE prime for professionals and fleets remains in place and can be combined with other local aids. Under the new CEE framework, the prime is divided into four specific categories: "Gros rouleurs" (heavy users), taxi drivers, home care workers, and used electric vehicles. The eligibility criteria are quite strict, raising concerns about how many motorists will actually qualify. For the first three categories, the aid is available for orders placed between September 1 and December 31, 2026, with the vehicle needing to be completed by June 30, 2027. The inclusion of used electric vehicles is a long-term addition, but it comes with specific conditions, such as purchasing from authorized professionals and ensuring the battery is in good condition. For individuals, the CEE prime ranges from 3,620 euros to 6,180 euros, depending on their fiscal income. If the battery and cells are manufactured within the European Economic Zone, the maximum aid can reach up to 8,240 euros. Two new bonuses were introduced in September 2026: one for individuals traveling more than 12,000 kilometers annually for professional reasons (up to 8,050 euros depending on income) and another specifically for taxi drivers who are sole proprietors. These additions aim to support a broader range of professionals transitioning to electric vehicles. For legal entities such as companies, lessees, and local authorities, the CEE prime is smaller compared to individual incentives. A personal electric vehicle receives 570 euros, with higher amounts in certain regions like ZNI, Corsica, and the West islands. Light utility vehicles, however, can receive between 6,160 euros and 9,900 euros. The category of "Gros rouleurs" has drawn the most attention, targeting those who use their personal vehicles for work but are not part of the most vulnerable or affluent groups. To qualify, individuals must travel at least 12,000 kilometers annually for professional reasons, with a signed statement from their employer or SIRET code for self-employed individuals. The aid can reach up to 7,700 euros, but only for new European-made electric vehicles. The reform introduces a more structured but complex system with various profiles, mileage thresholds, price and weight limits, and documentation requirements. The administrative process is not straightforward, with each category requiring specific paperwork. In the coming months, it will become clearer how many applications are approved and whether professionals in the sector, such as dealers and authorized garages, can effectively support their clients. As the electric vehicle market continues to grow—reaching a 38% share of new vehicles in France in August of last year—these incentives will gradually decrease. However, the German experience suggests that some level of support may still be necessary in the near future.
