Sales of electric cars have accelerated in recent years thanks to the environmental bonus, as well as the increase in supply. Today, almost all manufacturers have at least one zero-emission model, and most of them even more. And they still have no choice, since the sale of thermal cars will be strictly prohibited throughout the entire territory of the European Union. from 2035. So it’s clear that we can expect even more zero-emission cars on our streets in the coming years.

Free charge

But some motorists are still not completely convinced. If price is a problem, then autonomy is too, as well as recharging. In fact, many drivers are afraid of not finding an accessible terminal and fear that it will cost them dearly. In some cases, charging your EV battery costs almost as much as doing it yourself full of fuel ! But now the city has found a solution that should please the owners of electric cars. It’s Montpellier that does free charge.

What are the conditions?

From December 21, residents of the metropolis can recharge their zero-emission cars without spending a cent. But be careful, because the conditions are not always very favorable. In fact, only residents of the 31 municipalities around Montpellier can use this free service, which also only applies to 3 kW terminals. Suffice it to say that it takes more than 8 hours to fully charge the car. The aim is, above all, to encourage motorists to leave their cars charged for the day and use public transport.
