Electric cars in Toulouse
How can I buy an electric car in Toulouse? What grants are available? How do you charge up? We've summed it all up for you in this article.
Toulouse, as well as being the pink city, now aspires to soon become the green city. In recent years, this city has developed a strong interest in reducing pollution on its streets. At least, this was one of the themes addressed at the Zéro Carbone event held on December 14, 2020.
The most polluting vehicles will no longer be allowed on Toulouse roads
What's new in Toulouse on January 1, 2023
In addition to the above, it's important to mention the city's fight against air pollution. To this end, a "low-emission zone", or ZFE, was created in the spring of 2021, covering the entire city of Toulouse and the western ring road.
The deployment of the EPZ is gradually being extended, to give owners of the most polluting cars enough time to retrofit their vehicles or engines.
Toulouse metropole has announced changes from January 1, 2023 for the ZFE-m in Toulouse and part of Tournefeuille and Colomiers :
- Polluting gasoline-powered (registered before 1997) and diesel-powered (registered before 2006) passenger cars (Crit'Air 4,5 and non-classified) will no longer circulate in the ZFE-m.
- Polluting two-wheelers registered before July 1, 2004 (Crit'Air 4 and unclassified) will no longer be allowed to circulate in the ZFE-m.
Until January 1, 2024, only the following vehicles may continue to operate in these zones in Toulouse, namely:
- Gasoline-powered passenger cars registered between 1997 and 2005 (Crit'Air 3),
- Diesel passenger cars registered between 2006 and 2010 (Crit'Air 3),
- Two-wheelers registered between July 1, 2004 and December 31, 2006 (Crit'Air 3).
To facilitate this struggle, the city has also provided financial assistance to those brave enough to switch to electric cars.
