Electric cars in Montpellier

The city of Montpellier is currently developing a plan to accelerate the metropolis' ecological transition and promote the use of electric cars among local residents. Since electric cars produce no CO2 emissions or noise pollution, more and more cities are promoting their use through a range of action plans designed to democratize their use.

Montpellier town council has set up a ZFE-m (Zone à faibles émissions mobilité - low-emission mobility zone) to restrict the circulation of polluting vehicles and encourage the use of different means of clean mobility within the metropolis.

Currently, Montpellier town council is looking to introduce the ZFE-m to the city's 814,049 inhabitants within the city's pedestrian zone. Montpellier City Council is also considering a second option. The creation of a ZFE-m in an extended perimeter from the suburbs to the freeway is possible, with access restrictions depending on your vehicle's Crit'Air level.

Parking your electric car in Montpellier

Electric car parking Montpellier

With a view to preserving quality of life by reducing the nuisance caused by the disproportionate increase in the number of cars in the city, Montpellier has implemented various action plans to encourage the diversification of more responsible modes of transport.

The city works closely with TaM to manage on-street parking. The TaM parking network provides reserved spaces for electric vehicles, as well as recharging stations in the Comédie and Europa parking lots.

Access to the parking lots is available 24/7 with the Mobilité TaM subscription.

How do I recharge my electric car in Montpellier?

Comprising 150 charging points, Montpellier's network of charging stations is being strengthened year by year, thanks to an investment of €800,000 supported by €321,000 from the French government.

To ensure an efficient network, Montpellier has extended its network to 18 communes, as well as high-traffic downtown locations such as : 

  • The area around the Town Hall and the Métropole (fast terminals)
  • Multimodal hubs: Saint-Roch, Baillargues, Villeneuve-lès-Maguelone, Sud de France (accelerated terminals)
  • All business zones (accelerated terminals)
  • Tramway and park-and-ride parking lots (normal terminals)

Subscribers can pay for their refill as follows RÉVÉO subscribers will pay €1.5 per hour in addition to the €2 terminal connection fee to recharge at one of the terminals available in the city. The cost of an annual subscription is €12.

The network is still accessible to users without a subscription, for a much higher recharging fee. However, connection fees are between €3 and €4, depending on the type of terminal, and recharging costs €4 an hour.
