The numbers give the spin.
To support the ecological transition and the transition to a 100% electric market from January 1, 2035, LCP Delta, a European consulting firm in ecological transition, estimates that there should be 650,000 charging stations in the public domain from 2030. That would be an 800% increase from today.
According to the latest tally, France has barely more than 72,000 public charging points to date, far from the target of 100,000 terminals set by the government at the end of 2020. The players repeat over and over that the most important is not the achievement of the objective but the progression trajectory.
We comfort each other as best we can.
According to the study, it would be necessary to wait until 2024 for the initial objective to be reached and exceeded.
To this date,
Still, the study says nothing about the quality of infrastructure.
However, the ecological transition can only succeed if the obstacles to electric mobility are lifted.
The first of these is to reduce waiting time at terminals by working on two levers in parallel: technology on board vehicles and the multiplication of networks of fast terminals.
Two subjects that require such large investments that part of it will have to be borne by the end consumer.
Nearly 6.5 million terminals
In parallel with the proliferation of charging stations in public spaces, LCP Delta indicates that at the beginning of the next decade, 1,300,000 stations should be installed within companies, which would represent a growth of 1,200% compared to until today.
In fact, there are only 95,000 terminals on company sites.
Among individuals, we can also expect to see the number of charging sockets explode to nearly 4,500,000, an increase of 900%.
If we are to believe the study, we can expect to have a total fleet of 6,450,000 terminals distributed throughout the territory.
Tomorrow, French landscapes thus run the risk of being overwhelmed by parks of bollards.
As for the subject of the financing of this program, it remains to be written, like that of the source of energy.
The state has already indicated that to make this transition a success, six additional nuclear reactors would have to be built.
We are talking about nearly 50 billion additional euros per year to make this ecological transition a success.
If the State is ready to bear part of the cost, an additional financial effort will be required from local authorities and private actors.
Today, France has only 603,732 100% electric vehicles, or just 1% of the fleet.
Last year, sales of 100% electric models accounted for 13.3% of new car registrations, or 203,121 units.
Under pressure from taxation and regulations, but also from the conversion of manufacturers' ranges to this technology, the public authorities believe that the transition should accelerate.
A transition which is based, it should be remembered, on biased reasoning, since the MEPs based themselves on exhaust emissions and not on well-to-wheel emissions as is customary.
