In recent weeks, several important models have disappeared from the list of electric cars that can receive the Flemish €5,000 insurance premium.
When the Flemish government launched a €5,000 bonus in early 2024 for electric cars costing less than €40,000, many car brands were quick to lower their prices.
Three of Belgium's five best-selling electric cars have also had their prices reduced and suddenly became eligible for the insurance premium. These three standouts have now lost their promotional prize worth less than €40,000:
Tesla Model Y
Starting with the Tesla Model Y, the best-selling electric car in Belgium. Tesla launched the pre-configured Y devices in January at a price of €39,990, but that promotion is no longer available. Meanwhile, there has been a price increase of €2,000 on custom-configured Ys, so you're now paying at least €45,970 for the Y.
Tesla is now offering a €39,990 promotion on the pre-configured Model 3.
Volkswagen ID.4
The Volkswagen ID.4, the third best-selling electric car in Belgium, has a standard starting price of €44,990. In January 2024, Volkswagen launched a limited edition of approximately 200 ID.4 cars priced at €39,639 and were therefore eligible for the Flemish premium.
These are all now sold out. Volkswagen Belgium is currently considering whether it can launch such a promotion again, but it cannot provide any certainty on this matter.
Skoda Elegant
The Skoda Eniac, the fifth best-selling electric car in Belgium, received the “GO” version with a net 58 kWh battery in January at a promotional price of 39,990 euros.

This model is also no longer available. The cheapest Enyaq currently is the '85' with a 77 kWh battery (net) at €49,800. Skoda is currently running a promotion for business customers who can drive the 'Corporate 85 Edition' from €475 per month, but are therefore not eligible for the EV premium.
