French EV Subsidy Eligibility Checker (ADEME)

What it does

This Actor tells you which electric vehicles are eligible for French purchase subsidies, straight from the official ADEME eligibility lists. France only grants its EV incentives to vehicles that appear on a government-published list, and that list changes as models and manufacturing criteria evolve. This Actor makes all three lists searchable and exportable in one place:

• car — passenger cars eligible for the leasing social scheme
• van — light commercial vehicles (VUL) eligible for enhanced purchase aid
• truck — heavy goods vehicles eligible for enhanced purchase aid

Search by brand or model, or pass * to export a whole list. Each result includes the type-variant-version (TVV) homologation code and, where the source provides it, whether the motor and battery are manufactured within the EEA — the criteria driving eligibility.

Input

Field	Type	Required	Description
queries	array of strings	no	Brands/models to check (e.g. RENAULT). Use * or leave empty to export the full list. Default *.
vehicleTypes	array of strings	no	Any of car, van, truck. Empty = all three.
maxResultsPerQuery	integer	no	Max vehicles per query and category, 1–1000. Default 100.

Output

One dataset item per eligible vehicle. Every item carries a status field: found (eligible), not_found (no vehicle matched — i.e. not on the list) or error.

Use cases

• Fleet purchasing: check before ordering whether a van or truck qualifies for the enhanced aid, and export the full list to build a shortlist.
• Dealership & leasing tools: power an eligibility checker on a sales configurator, keyed on brand/model.
• Subsidy verification: confirm a specific TVV homologation code is on the official list before filing an aid application.
• Market monitoring: track which manufacturers gain or lose eligibility as the EEA manufacturing criteria are applied.

Limitations & fair use

• Eligibility is defined by the official ADEME lists at the moment of the run; these are updated by the administration, and a vehicle absent today may appear later (and vice versa). Always re-run before relying on the result for a filing.
• A not_found result means no vehicle matched your query in that list — it is a strong hint that the model is not eligible, but check the brand spelling first.
• The motorMadeInEea / batteryMadeInEea flags are only populated in the passenger-car list; they are null for vans and trucks because the source does not publish them.
• This Actor reports eligibility only. It does not compute the subsidy amount, which depends on the buyer's situation.
• Source: ADEME open data, Licence Ouverte / Open Licence (Etalab). Attribution to ADEME is expected on redistribution.

Pricing

This Actor is free. You only pay your own Apify platform consumption (compute units), typically a fraction of a cent per run.
