Inflation is not abating and energy prices are rising. This is enough to worry the most modest households, while inflation was at 6.1% in July 2022. Several aids are still available, however, and in particular for transport.
The fuel discount (or “rebate at the pump”) will increase from 18 cents to 30 cents per liter in September 2022, according to BFMTV. This aid concerns all French people: in fact, the allowance for the biggest drivers and French people who take the car on a daily basis has been abandoned in favor of this more general aid, which therefore concerns anyone, regardless of the frequency of which the vehicle is used. Note that this device can be combined with the TotalEnergies discount of 20 cents from September 1 to November 1, 2022. The discount at the pump will be decreasing until December. The government has not said whether it will continue in 2023.
More good news, this time for cyclists: the ecological bonus applies, from August 15 to December 31, 2022, to electric bicycles. According to the Ministry of the Economy, it can amount to up to 400 euros “for an individual with a reference tax income equal to or less than 6,300 euros or a person with a disability”, and up to 300 euros ” for an individual with a reference tax income equal to or less than 13,489 euros. “Other models are also concerned for a greater bonus: the purchase of a cargo bike, folding or adapted to the handicap, or even an electric bicycle trailer, can benefit from an ecological bonus of 2,000 euros . A classic bicycle, meanwhile, may also be eligible for the ecological bonus “for individuals with a reference tax income equal to or less than €6,300 and for people with disabilities. »
