The target of 100,000 charging stations open to the public, set by the government for 2021, had still not been reached at the end of 2022, according to a monthly barometer.
As of December 31, 2022, 82,107 charging points were open to the public, according to this barometer published on Tuesday by the National Association for the Development of Electric Mobility (Avere) and the Minister for Energy Transition.
Over one year, 8,472 new stations representing 28,840 charging points open to the public have been deployed in the territory, i.e. +53%. The objective of 100,000 terminals was above all intended to give new impetus to deployments. In this sense, it is successful, tempers Clment Molizon, general delegate of Avere-France.
Shops as the main providers of terminals
More than 25,000 charging points have come out of the ground in one year, more than between 2016 and 2020!, underlined Mr. Molizon. But we have to keep up the effort to meet the needs of users. Thirty-six percent of charging points are installed by businesses35% on car parks and 24% on the road.
On the motorway, all areas of the APRR and AREA networks are now equipped, as required by law, the two networks indicated on Monday. Sanef network areas are equipped 85% and those of the Vinci network should all be equipped by the end of 2023dealers said Wednesday.
Nearly 90% of charging points offer slow charging, according to the barometer. Less than 7% offer a charging power greater than 150 kW, allowing the batteries of a vehicle to be fully recharged in a few tens of minutes. The terminals are increasingly used, but there is still room: in December 2022, the charging points recorded an average of 15 charging sessionsagainst less than 8 a year earlier.

While new vehicles will be 100% electric in Europe in 2035, French manufacturers insist on the deployment of charging stations for electric vehicles, essential to reassure motorists. The share of electric cars continued to grow on the French market in 2022, reaching 13% of total registrationscompared to 10% the previous year.
