Mobility
Transport electrification cannot be read off a single indicator. You need to know what is being registered, where vehicles are charged, how much energy is actually spent on moving, and how many passengers and tonnes there are to move. This page is the map of those four entry points.
Vehicles
What sells and what runs: fleet renewal, from passenger cars to heavy trucks.
Charging
Charging infrastructure: the stock of charge points, what plugging in costs, and how it is used.
- Charging-point network (IRVE)Stock of EV charging infrastructure in France: number of charging points, cumulative power, regional and current-type (AC/DC) breakdown, from the consolidated IRVE file (Etalab).
- Public charging pricesDisplayed prices and payment options for public EV charging in France: share of free charge points, ad hoc and card payment, distribution of €/kWh prices declared in the IRVE database (Etalab) and external benchmarks (CRE home tariff, CLCV survey).
- Charging patterns24h load curve, usage dynamics and reliability of EV charging sessions in France, by location type (Advenir × ADEME Observatory).
- Electric truck chargingMap of charging stations accessible to electric heavy-duty trucks in France: dedicated and compatible sites, operators, and the confidence level behind each record.
Energy & emissions
The energy spent on moving and what it emits — fuel sales, traction mix, emissions inventory.
- Monthly fuel sales in FranceMonthly volumes of diesel, petrol, off-road diesel, jet fuel, LPG and heating oil sold in France (SDES). The demand-side counterpart of fleet electrification.
- Transport traction energy in France: where electricity standsThe energy that moves France by road, rail, sea and air: traction consumption by mode and by fuel, in TWh, and the share of electricity — rail, urban transport, private cars. Data from SDES (annual transport report).
- Transport emissions: what the national total leaves outGreenhouse gas emissions from transport in France on the "Kyoto" scope (mainland + EU overseas territories), 1990-2024, from the Citepa inventory published by SDES — including international aviation, maritime and inland waterway transport, attributable to France but excluded from its national total under UNFCCC rules.
Transport demand
What there is to move, before any question of powertrain: passenger-kilometres, public networks, tonne-kilometres.
- Passenger transport in France: modal share and CO₂ impactHow people travel in France: modal share of domestic passenger transport in passenger-kilometres, greenhouse gas emissions by mode, and the carbon intensity of a kilometre travelled. Data from SDES (annual transport report) and Citepa.
- Public transport: network-level detailNetwork-level detail of collective passenger transport in France from the SDES annual transport report: urban public transport (Paris region and rest of France) since 2000, rail (high-speed, intercity, regional, suburban) since 1980, and air travel demand by geographic route.
- Freight transport: road haulage activityQuarterly activity of domestic road freight transport by French-registered vehicles (SDES, TRM survey), in millions of tonne-kilometres since 2014: hire-and-reward and own-account, national and international, long and short distance. Complemented by road / rail / inland-waterway modal shares of inland freight transport (SDES, table E1.b), covering traffic performed in France under all flags.
