Today, electric cars are increasingly popular in France, and especially in Europe. Indeed, this engine’s market share has now reached 15% and should continue to grow over the years. It must be said that more and more models are arriving at dealerships and that manufacturers are constantly improving their technologies. However, there are still a few blocking aspects for some motorists, such as price, range and charging. Many believe that in some cases and depending on the model, connecting the car can be very difficult.
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

What measures?
In addition, sometimes it is difficult to know exactly how much we will pay, because the rates differ from one operator to another. Which makes things very difficult. But this may finally change under the influence of the European Union. The latter really wants to come and invest his distrust in all this to facilitate the charging process. Brussels especially wants better harmonize the payment process, encouraging all operators to use kWh pricing rather than per minute as some do. But this is not the only measure that should be taken.
More understandable prices
The European Union also wants all terminals supplying more than 50 kWh of capacity to clearly display prices per kWh on the totem, similar to conventional service stations. The new directive also wants requires payment by credit card, but not all operators offer it. This currently makes the charging process much more difficult for some customers who do not have the required subscription and are stuck in a dead end when connecting to the terminal. These measures are scheduled to enter into force next year.
