Although many motorists are still adamantly against it, sales of electric cars have continued to grow over the years. And it should accelerate even more, and the sale of thermal cars will in any case be banned throughout Europe from 2035. An event that, obviously, not everyone likes, starting with motorists. However, the problem of recharging and autonomy is on the way to a solution. Really, the number of terminals continues to increase throughout France, especially during the last two years.

The eastern district of Saint-Rambert on the street@A7Traffic from July 18 will offer 2 electric charging stations for refrigerators. It is an economical, ecological and quiet alternative to noisy and polluting diesel generators. https://t.co/YF2YFVSF5Q

An ambitious goal

Indeed, last week we announced that the country had finally crossed over The mark of 100,000 charging stations accessible to all. A symbolic milestone, although reached very late. Indeed, the government has promised that this figure will be reached by the end of 2021. We are in May 2023. Now the state is looking ahead and wants to accelerate the pace even more, as confirmed Minister of Transport Clément Bon at the microphone of Europe 1. The latter admits the delay and now claims that “we will give ourselves the means“, without giving further details at this time.

Not enough

Indeed, there is a new goal 400,000 terminals are now installed available to French motorists from 2030. An ambitious promise, but not enough, according to certain organizations such as Avere-France, which estimates that 480,000 charging points will be needed. A number that goes up to 600,000 for Artur Joannik of LCP Delta, which still wouldn’t be enough. However, what cannot be neglected remains charging quality as well as the presence of terminals that still need improvement.
