Charging point stock (IRVE)

The charging point stock open to the public in France: how many charging points, how much installed power, where, and what share of fast (DC) charging.

Publicly accessible charging points declared under the IRVE scheme and consolidated by Etalab, excluding the private charging points (home, closed company premises). This count is a daily snapshot of the consolidated file, distinct from the Avere-France barometer published further down this page: the two cover different declarative scopes and do not give the same charging-point total. The Etalab file is authoritative for the breakdowns by region, department, power and operator, which it alone carries.

The EV fleet versus the fast charging point stock

EVs per charging point

6.3

Battery-electric fleet ÷ total public charging points

EVs per fast charging point (≥ 100 kW)

23.1

Battery-electric fleet ÷ charging points ≥ 100 kW

Balance ~100 EVs/point

EV fleet: SDES vintage as of 1 January 2026. Charging points: daily IRVE Etalab snapshot as of October 12, 2026. The two terms are not from the same vintage: the fleet is that of 1 January, the charging points are read eight and a half months later, on a network growing faster than the fleet. The published ratio is therefore a lower bound. Publicly accessible charging points only (excludes home and closed-company charging).

Sharp disparities between departments

The same EV / charging point ratio as above, broken down by department: the fast-charging network is not evenly sized against the local EV fleet everywhere.

4 department(s) with no charging point at all for the “EVs per fast charging point (≥ 100 kW)” metric (local EV fleet present but no network, ratio not computable): Guadeloupe, Guyane, Martinique, Mayotte.

  • Different reference dates: EV fleet (SDES) as of 1 January, charging points (IRVE Etalab) daily snapshot.
  • Charging points are counted where they are installed: a department crossed by a major motorway corridor mechanically shows a low ratio, without its residents actually being better equipped day to day.
  • 0.8% of the charging points in the consolidated file (1,882 rows) cannot be matched to any department (missing INSEE code and no usable postal code in the address, or Corsica 20xxx which cannot be resolved) and are therefore absent from this ranking.

Monthly national history (Avere-France / Gireve barometer)

The Etalab dataset above is a point-in-time geographic reading. The Avere-France / Gireve national barometer publishes the number of public charging points in France every month. The monthly history is reconstructed here since 2022, together with the usage indicators (availability, sessions, consumption) published from late 2024 onward.

Source: Avere-France and Gireve monthly barometers. The technical availability rate is only comparable from late 2024 onward: the indicator published before then had a different definition.

Public charging points in France (Décret n°2017-26 definition), Avere-France / Ministry for Ecological Transition barometer, based on Gireve data. The month is the barometer's “as of” reference date. This count differs from the consolidated Etalab file shown in the tile at the top of the page, the two declarative scopes not being the same; the barometer is authoritative for the monthly history, which it alone carries.

Source: Consolidated file of charging points for electric vehicles (Etalab). Publicly accessible charging points declared under the IRVE scheme and consolidated by Etalab, excluding the private charging points (home, closed company premises). This count is a daily snapshot of the consolidated file, distinct from the Avere-France barometer published further down this page: the two cover different declarative scopes and do not give the same charging-point total. The Etalab file is authoritative for the breakdowns by region, department, power and operator, which it alone carries.

Methodology and licence

Scope
Charging points open to the public, declared under the IRVE schema and consolidated by Etalab. Excludes the private charging points (homes, closed company sites) and undeclared points.
Regional breakdown
The region is derived from the department (extracted from the municipality's INSEE code, 2016 administrative boundaries). Points without a usable code (some overseas collectivities, missing code) are excluded from the regional breakdown but still counted in the national total.
AC / DC classification
A charging point is classed as “fast charging” (DC) if it offers a Combo CCS or CHAdeMO connector, and AC otherwise (Type 2 or domestic socket). The criterion is the connector type rather than a power threshold, which would produce false positives/negatives (high-power three-phase AC versus low-power DC).
Time cumulation
The monthly cumulative counts, month by month, the charging points whose commissioning date falls in that month. It is not a history of successive snapshots of the network, but a reconstruction from the declared commissioning date of points still listed today. Points commissioned and then removed before the current consolidation therefore don't appear.
Power brackets
Brackets of declared rated power: Slow ≤ 7.4 kW, Accelerated 7.4–22 kW, Fast 22–150 kW, Ultra-fast > 150 kW. Independent of the AC/DC classification by connector type.
Fast-charging threshold (100 kW)
A separate threshold counts charging points with declared rated power ≥ 100 kW, the usual definition of “fast charging” in market barometers. It situates the fully electric vehicle fleet against the public fast-charging network, independently of the bracket split shown in the “Charging point power” chart.
Department matching (postal code fallback)
When the municipality's INSEE code is missing or cannot be matched, the department is inferred from the 5-digit postcode in the station address (first 2 digits, 3 for overseas). Corsica exception: 20xxx postcodes cannot reliably distinguish Corse-du-Sud (2A) from Haute-Corse (2B), so those points stay unmatched rather than being assigned arbitrarily.
Operators
Breakdown by operator (operator name, or brand name when missing), with normalised labels (roaming suffix removed, case harmonised). The top 20 operators by number of charging points are detailed, split by power bracket; the rest is aggregated into “Other”.
