Aid for buying an electric vehicle
Aid for buying an electric vehicle. Help small and medium-sized businesses, as well as associations recognised as being of public utility and social and solidarity economy (ESS) organisations, replace their polluting vehicles with more environmentally friendly mobility. Expenditure or operations listed: aid to buy low-emission utility vehicles and change engines in return for scrapping a vehicle banned from the ZFE perimeter; aid to buy cargo bikes. Practical step: before buying, confirm that the establishment is within the eligible perimeter, identify the vehicle to be replaced and check the proof of scrapping or retrofit. The catalogue cap is €5,000, but the detailed scale and the opening of the programme should be confirmed: the public information available relates to an earlier campaign.
The catalogue links this scheme to the Aix-Marseille-Provence Metropole and to phasing out polluting vehicles in the context of the low-emission zone (ZFE). It mentions buying low-emission utility vehicles, retrofitting in return for scrapping a vehicle banned from the zone, and cargo bikes. The geographical criterion may therefore determine eligibility. The amount, combination rules and current opening should be confirmed with the funder before committing.
