Retrofit in practice
Looking to convert your petrol or diesel vehicle through retrofit?
Check our FAQ for answers to the most frequently asked questions.
Electric retrofit is a cost-effective alternative to buying a new electric vehicle. More accessible thanks to a lower acquisition cost, it allows you to keep the existing fittings in your vehicle without further investment.
By extending its lifespan, you also make a strong environmental contribution: fewer resources consumed, more durability.
No, not all vehicles are eligible for retrofit. In France (and across Europe), retrofit is strictly regulated. At Qinomic, we specialise in electric retrofit for light commercial vehicles.
Yes, that’s the main advantage! With retrofit, your vehicle becomes 100% electric, zero-emission, fitted with a new electric drive system, and qualifies for the Crit’Air 0 certificate
As a professional, local authority, or French association, you can receive national and regional grants for retrofit.
The national electric retrofit grant is €6,000 to €8,000 per light commercial vehicle for professionals.
Regional grants vary depending on the local council.
The Energy Savings Certificates (CEE) scheme offers up to €530 to support the energy transition, including electric vehicle retrofit.
This support is available to all actors, public or private, across France, and applies to businesses of all sizes.
