Where can you recharge your electric car on the freeway?

Private charging station

How do you recharge your electric car on the freeway? This is one of the questions most frequently asked by our users, and one of the reasons why some motorists are reluctant to switch to electric cars.

First of all, progress in terms of autonomy has been dazzling in recent years. And there's no end in sight. You won't have to stop systematically on the freeway as you did before. Some journeys can be made in one go without needing to recharge.

There were 25,000 charging points listed at the end of November 2018, and this figure is growing. The Association nationale pour le développement de la mobilité électrique (Areve) predicts that there will be 45,000 charging points by 2020, almost double the current number.

The aim? To meet the needs of electric vehicle drivers and ensure day-to-day recharging.

How do I find the charging points for my electric car on the freeway?

The most effective way is to prepare your itinerary a few days in advance and use Chargemaps.

This application lists all the charging stations in France and Europe.

charging your electric car on the freeway

Thanks to the app, it's easy to find your way around and find the nearest terminal.

Once connected, you will see the following information about the charging station:

  • General information about the charging station (who financed it, is the energy used green...)
  • Terminal access information
  • Available socket types
  • Refill price
  • Type of subscription supported by the station
  • User comments

How do you recharge while on vacation on the freeway?

With ever greater autonomy and a network of recharging stations covering the whole of France, it's now possible to go on holiday with an electric car. It's now possible to go on vacation with an electric car.

To optimize your journey time, we advise you to use fast-charging stations to shorten the recharging time of your electric vehicle. However, you need to take into account the maximum recharging capacity your vehicle can accommodate to avoid extra costs. For example, if you have to pay for a 75 kW charge when your vehicle can only handle a maximum charge of 45 kW.

To ensure that the charging stations are compatible with your vehicle, we advise you to find out in advance about the charging station networks on your route. For example, the ionity charging network, for example, which is present on most French and European freeways, will enable you to travel with peace of mind thanks to its map showing the location of the various charging points, so you can plan an optimum route for recharging your electric vehicle. In fact, this network will make your travels throughout Europe much easier, thanks to its 400 charging stations, scheduled for installation by the end of 2020. What's more, you can also use the Chargemap Pass to access several networks in France in addition to ionity, to ensure a smooth journey.

Once you've arrived at your destination, you'll need to choose a site equipped with recharging sockets to ensure that you can use your electric vehicle every day during your vacation.
