French Electric Car Bonus Reform May Impact Moroccan-Made Citroën AMI Pricing

The reform of the ecological bonus in France "is supposed to support buyers of electric vehicles by giving them a little financial boost". There is also talk of increasing the amount of the ecological bonus for small electric vehicles such as quadricycles. The Citroën Ami could benefit from this measure, which would allow it to further reduce its already affordable price, but its manufacture in Morocco could completely prevent it from benefiting from the bonus, observes the site Aroged. One of the objectives of the reform is to "stimulate" the "reindustrialization" of France by preventing the ecological bonus introduced in 2007 from benefiting vehicles designed outside the European territory.

The French government has not, for the time being, specified to what extent the aid will be increased. For the record, the Citroën Ami is sold starting at 7,790 euros.
