France Malus Ecologique Calculator FAQ

When does the French CO2 malus start in 2026?
The official 2026 threshold starts at 108 g/km CO2, with the maximum malus reached at high emissions.
How does the French weight malus work?
The mass malus applies marginal euro-per-kg bands above the threshold and is capped together with the CO2 malus.
Does the malus apply to imported used cars?
It can apply on first registration in France, with rules based on the first registration date and possible reductions.
Are electric cars subject to the malus?
Pure electric vehicles are generally outside the CO2 malus and usually not modelled with a weight malus here.
Is this exact for every French registration?
No. The CO2 scale is compacted for estimation; use the official table for the final amount.
