Today, we are sharing something we have to think more about, and that is finding Eurocamp Parcs in France with Car Charging Points. We find it makes a trip more straightforward if we have the option to charge our hybrid car.

If you are planning your next trip and have an electric or hybrid car, you, too, will be starting to think about the logistics of getting to your Eurocamp Park in France. While having a hybrid car means you can refill it with petrol, it’s great to charge up before your return journey. We like to start long journeys fully charged and with a full tank. Likewise, if your car is fully electric, you must plan around stops with car charging access.

Tips For Taking An Electric Vehicle To France

Research Charging Points in France

Charging infrastructure across France is good, but it’s essential to check availability along rural routes or in smaller towns. Apps like PlugShare, Chargemap, and the French app Freshmile can help you locate points, view real-time availability, and plan routes.

Understand Plug Types and Charging Standards

In France, Type 2 connectors are standard for public charging. Fast-charging stations typically use Combo CCS or CHAdeMO connectors, so confirm that your car or adapters are compatible before you travel.

Plan Charging Stops for Longer Journeys

Factor in time for stops if you’re travelling far. Motorways often have charging points at service areas, but it’s wise to book these in advance, especially during peak travel times. If you’re driving a hybrid, make note of petrol stations as a backup.

Be Aware of Local Traffic and Parking Rules

France’s low-emission zones, or Zones à Faibles Émissions (ZFEs), can restrict higher-emission vehicles, but EVs and hybrids often have access to dedicated parking areas or discounts. You might need a Crit’Air sticker for some city areas, so check ahead of time if this applies.

Check Your Roadside Assistance Coverage

Ensure that your policy covers EV or hybrid-specific issues, like flat batteries. Many providers in France offer special EV roadside assistance, and you may even find mobile charging units along major routes.

Know the Payment Methods

Charging stations in France often use pay-per-minute or pay-per-kWh systems, and some accept cards, though others require an RFID card or app like Chargemap or Freshmile. Consider loading these apps in advance to streamline payments.

Watch Your Range on French Motorways

High speeds on motorways (autoroutes) can quickly drain battery power. Plan for additional charging stops, particularly on longer routes, and take advantage of motorway rest areas with charging facilities when possible.
