France launches 2026 social leasing scheme for electric cars with limited model list

leasing social electric vehicles France model exclusions Peugeot Renault

A new French "leasing social" program for electric vehicles will open on 16 July 2026. The scheme caps monthly payments around €200, with advertised rates as low as €94, and provides a public aid of up to €9,500 per household. About 50,000 dossiers will be accepted, and eligibility depends on income, a minimum 10 km commute distance and at least 8,000 km of yearly use.

Peugeot and Renault have detailed their offers, while the overall catalogue has been reduced from 32 models in 2025 to 19 in 2026. Several models are absent because they exceed the weight limit of the programme: Volkswagen’s ID. 4 and ID. 3, Skoda El Rq, and Cupra Born are excluded. Volkswagen’s ID. Polo meets the weight rule but missed the schedule, and Ford has opted out entirely. Kia participates with only one version of its EV2 model. The limited quotas and strict criteria mean applicants must submit complete files quickly to secure a vehicle.
