cars are becoming more popular in France – in 2022 over 13% of new car sales were electric vehicles. With the growing number of these cars on the road comes the need for charging


infrastructure, both in public and in homes. Whilst installation of charging points in public spaces is increasing thanks to new laws, the good news in regard to your question is that there


are no regulations regarding setting up an electric car charging port at your home – the only constraints are your budget and your electrical supply capacities. THREE OPTIONS ARE AVAILABLE


Charging your car at home can be done in one of three ways: via a standard domestic plug socket, a special reinforced plug socket for charging electric cars, or a specially-mounted


‘wallbox’. When using a domestic plug socket, it can take around 20 hours to charge a car, and you should have an electrician check the electrical installation before hooking your car up to


charge. Note that it is not recommended to plug in your electric vehicle using an extension cord, as this could be dangerous. Reinforced plug sockets cost between €50 and €200 online, and


can be used to cut down on charging times (by 35% according to energy supplier Engie) and to prevent overheating. Wall-mounted charging points are the most expensive, costing a few hundred


euros, but they cut the charging time down to a few hours, and are a specific piece of infrastructure dedicated to charging your car (as opposed to merely using a spare plug socket in your


home or garage). For installations over 3.7 kilowatts (which includes all wall chargers), the installation must be carried out by a professional, who can hook the installation up to your


electrical mains. One thing to note is that if you do not have your own private garage, it may be more difficult to charge your vehicle, as you will need access either to a plug socket or a


wall. Some communal parking facilities will have shared charging stations you can use, however, and for new residential car parks with more than 10 spaces, at least one car parking space


must be equipped with electrical charging equipment. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE There are government schemes designed to help homeowners and tenants to install charging points. You can notably


apply for a tax credit worth 70% of the cost of the installation, up to €300. It is also possible to benefit from a reduced rate of VAT – 5.5% rather than the standard 20% – for the charger.
