It is a bad signal addressed to the owners of vehicles with battery recharging on sector. Izivia has closed nearly 90% of its fleet of fast-charging stations (50 kW of power), or 189 of the 217 terminals making up the bulk of the Corri-Door network. The latter is a major player in electric mobility by offering a particularly efficient motorway network with a terminal approximately every 80 km. Subsidiary of EDF, Izivia is sheltering behind two technical incidents which could lead to security problems to explain its decision to disconnect its terminals. Last December, during a trip in an electric vehicle, we paid for the frequent malfunctions of Izivia equipment. The terminals causing the incidents would come from the supplier EVTronic. For its part, in a press release, the equipment manufacturer EVBox, which acquired EVTronic in 2018, insisted that a maintenance defect could be the cause of erratic operation. In the absence of a quick solution, electric mobility could come under heavy pressure.
Fortunately, the terminals of the operator Ionity, the network supported by the BMW, Daimler, Volkswagen, Ford and Hyundai-Kia groups, are accessible to all electric cars. But for vehicles outside the consortium (Renault Zoe, Peugeot e-208 and e-2008, DS 3 Crossback E-Tense, etc.), the rate applied is € 0.79 / kWh, or by recharging, around forty euros for boost a 50 kWh battery instead of the single package of € 8.
