The social leasing program for 2026 is still open for applications, although the selection of available vehicle models has been reduced. Launched in July with a budget of 401 million euros, the program aimed to provide affordable electric vehicles to eligible participants. In just over two months, it has received around 34,000 applications, leaving about 15,000 spots still available out of the annual quota of 50,000.
One of the main reasons for the reduced model selection is that car manufacturers have voluntarily limited the number of vehicles they are willing to offer under the program. This has resulted in several models and even entire brands, such as Peugeot, Kia, Jeep, Lancia, Fiat, and Alfa Romeo, becoming unavailable. The decision by manufacturers may be due to production constraints or strategic choices regarding the types of vehicles they wish to promote through the program.
Despite the reduction in options, several models remain available for applicants. These include Renault's Twingo Autonomy urban, which costs 130 euros per month, and the R4 Autonomy comfort at 170 euros per month. Citroën offers the ë-C3 Autonomy urban for 94 euros per month, with the ë-C3 Autonomy comfort at 151 euros and the ë-C3 Aircross Extended autonomy at 181 euros per month. Opel's Frontera Extended autonomy is available at 139 euros per month, while Nissan's Micra Advance 52 kWh is priced at 199 euros per month. Hyundai also contributes with the Inster 42 kWh model, available at 139 euros per month.
The social leasing program continues to provide an opportunity for individuals to access electric vehicles at reduced monthly costs. While the variety of models has decreased, the remaining options still offer a range of choices for participants looking to benefit from this initiative.
