The transition follows four successive steps with no interruption to operations. First, connect your fleet to collect actual usage for two to three months, ideally through manufacturer data with no hardware installation. Second, audit eligibility vehicle by vehicle by cross-checking mileage, trip profiles and areas served. Third, simulate combustion vs electric TCO over four years, including energy, maintenance, tax, EV bonus and LOM law tax. Fourth, roll out gradually, starting with the vehicles that pay off most and the most willing drivers. Fleeti automates all four steps from a single platform, with no change of tools for your teams.

In France, the mobility orientation law (LOM) requires private companies to replace 20% of their fleet with low-emission vehicles since 2024, 40% from 2027 and 70% from 2030. It applies to fleets of more than 100 light vehicles, whether bought, rented or leased. A low-emission vehicle is defined as emitting less than 60 g of CO2 per kilometre under the WLTP standard. This covers fully electric, plug-in hybrid and hydrogen vehicles. Since March 2025, an annual incentive tax applies to non-compliant companies: €2,000 per missing vehicle in the first year, €4,000 in 2026, and up to €5,000 planned for 2027.

Eligibility depends on how the vehicle is actually used, not on the model or the driver. Three main criteria must be cross-checked. Average daily mileage must stay below the real-world range of the target EV, usually 200 to 350 km in mixed conditions. The trip profile must include enough stop time for charging, ideally overnight or during non-productive hours. The driver must have access to charging, at home or at their base site. The Fleeti audit cross-checks these three criteria to produce a costed recommendation for each vehicle, with a suggested model and a four-year TCO projection.

Over four years and in equivalent conditions, an electric vehicle's total cost of ownership is 15 to 30% lower than a combustion vehicle's for office-based sales fleets. The higher purchase price is offset in three ways. First, an energy cost of around €3 per 100 km versus €12 to €15 for an equivalent combustion vehicle. Second, maintenance costs 30 to 40% lower thanks to fewer wear parts. Third, more favourable French tax treatment since 2025, with a 70% benefit-in-kind allowance for eco-scored EVs, capped at €4,582 a year until 31 December 2027. The exact figure depends on annual mileage, financing method and charging rate.

You have three options, to choose according to your car policy. First, a flat per-kilometre allowance: simple but imprecise. Second, reimbursement per actual kWh measured by the home charger: fairer, but it requires a connected charger. Third, direct payment by the employer via a multi-network charging card: the company pays the energy provider without going through the driver. Fleeti connects to home smart chargers to read charging sessions, applies your rate and generates a payroll-ready export every month.

The LOM law defines a low-emission vehicle as one emitting less than 60 g of CO2 per kilometre under the WLTP standard. This covers three types of powertrain. Fully battery-electric vehicles are automatically included. Plug-in hybrids are included if their certified electric range is sufficient. Hydrogen vehicles are included but remain rare in company fleets. Non-plug-in hybrids and petrol or diesel vehicles are excluded, even the newest and lowest-emitting. This definition applies to company fleets subject to LOM quotas and to vehicles eligible for purchase incentives.

The annual incentive tax applies to companies with more than 100 vehicles that miss their LOM quota when replacing vehicles. It is calculated per missing vehicle: €2,000 in 2025, €4,000 in 2026, and up to €5,000 planned for 2027 according to government announcements. For example, a fleet of 200 vehicles that should have replaced 40 vehicles in 2026 with 16 low-emission vehicles (40% of replacements), but only has 8, would pay €32,000 in tax in the first year. The calculation is based on the company's own declaration. Fleeti automates quota tracking and alerts you at the critical threshold so you can decide before the replacement.

No. The right charging infrastructure is sized by analysing how each vehicle is used. Three levels should be combined. Home charging for drivers with a personal charge point, particularly suited to company cars used for commuting. On-site charging for pool vehicles or vehicles that always return to the depot, sized according to how many vehicles need charging at the same time. Public on-the-road charging with a multi-network card for long or occasional trips. The Fleeti audit recommends the optimal sizing per site and per driver, including the ADVENIR grant, which can cover up to 50% of installation costs, capped at €960 per charge point.
