We have already considered the situation in France in document last August. We will remind you that the government has set quite ambitious goals for 2021reach 100,000 charging stations throughout France by the end of 2022. With approx As of August 1, 2021, 66,960 terminals were in operationwhere are we today at the end of the year?
A slow growing network
With roughly 57,000 terminals a year ago, and nearly 67,000 this summer, the number of EVs available for charging is slowly growing.
But with the beginning of the school year, everything accelerates. Indeed, as of November 30, the total number of terminals in service was 77,318 exactly, according to the national barometer of charging infrastructure open to the public. This countdown comes fromAuvergne France and Ministry of Energy. If you count, in 3 months we did as much as in 10 from last year! Rather good news.

France is far from the mark, but the situation is progressing
Currently, we are still far from last year’s promises. But according to the latest forecasts, the figure of 100,000 stations should probably be will be achieved by 2023.
At the end of the year there is therefore 115 charging points per 100,000 inhabitants. This summer, this indicator decreased to 99 terminals per 100,000 population.
Finally, the public source provides the last three important figures: 69% of the total number of terminals in the hexagon are located in shops and parking lotsonly against 26% in road and 4% in companies. Currently, the level of availability of the charging station reaches 84%.
