Why are so few charging stations working when everything is done to encourage the use of electric vehicles? France even reached a first objective at the beginning of May with 100,000 terminals installed on its territory. It is also beginning to catch up with its European neighbours. And Emmanuel Macron has set the target of 400,000 terminals by 2030.
In Île-de-France, town halls have tried to convert the old Autolib’ terminals to the new standards, but there are many technical problems. The city of Lyon (Rhône) preferred to install entirely new equipment. Thus, out of 500 terminals, half have been replaced and others serve as parking areas for new forms of mobility: scooters or even bicycles. A political will to limit the number of vehicles in the city.
“Today, young people take public transport, bicycles or electric scooters and it’s much more efficient and much more ecological than Bluely (former electric car-sharing service, editor’s note)”, considers Jean-Charles Kohlhaas, vice-president (EELV) of the metropolis of Lyon.
