Since 2019, this approach has been part of a metropolitan framework: the entire area bounded by the A86 motorway (excluding the A86) is affected by the same traffic restrictions. The introduction of the Metropolitan Low Emission Zone was made mandatory by the Law on the orientation of mobility from December 2019.

That's why, Beev has compiled a list of the best charging point installers in the Paris Region.
Driving an electric vehicle in Paris: the advantages
Reinforced EPZs
Since the rise in popularity of the electric vehicle, the introduction of Low Emission Zones (ZFE) is increasingly reinforced. Set up in 2015 in cities most inclined to polluteThese restrictions will be further tightened in 2017, and again in 2019, to the point where access will be denied to categorised vehicles. Unclassified, Crit'Air 5 and Crit'Air 4.
The restriction of these two categories will come into force on the date of 1st June 2021, with regard to Paris region.
What's more, the Climate and Resilience Act of 22 August 2021 transferred the powers and prerogatives relating to the Low Emission Zone to the President of the Greater Paris Metropolitan Area.
Le 1er July 2022The Council of the Greater Paris Metropolitan Area adopted a resolution postponing the next stage of the low-emission zone by one year, until 1 January 2010.er July 2023.
In 2024, these regulations will be affected by a number of changes:
- Postponement of the Crit'Air 3 stage: Initially, the traffic restriction for Crit air 3 vehicles was planned, but this stage has been postponed to 1 January 2025 by the French government. Greater Paris Metropolitan Council in July 2023. This decision was taken on the basis of a number of conditions, including the introduction by the government of a guaranteed interest-free loan and an automated enforcement system.

Installing a recharging point: advantages
- Ecological
While the electric vehicle aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, recharging electric vehicles also has its share of ecological benefits. The battery of an electric vehicle can be recharged with the help of photovoltaic panels. These panels are a renewable, inexhaustible, economical and sustainable source of energy.
In France, the energy we draw on comes from wind turbines, but this will be a promising option in the future.
- Economical
The French government is closely involved in projects that include the energy transition, and supports its population financially. The government has set up a range of grants to make it easier for everyone to buy an electric car, and in some cases up to 50% can be deducted from the cost of the equipment needed to maintain the vehicle. This includes charging points, plugs and even the initial cost of the electric vehicle, the price of which is reduced thanks to the environmental bonus and conversion premium..
Private individuals can benefit from financial assistance for the installation of an electric vehicle charging point. In France, the tax credit for energy transition (CITE) allows you to deduct 75 % from the expenditure incurred, up to a limit of €500 per charging system.
NB:
- 500 per charging system for a connected charging point
- 300 per charging system for a non-connected charging point, with or without load shedding
- Technical
Certification IRVE (Infrastructure for recharging electric vehicles), which is compulsory in France, engages the services of experienced professional electricians and craftsmen. The latter have their own equipment, whether plugs or cables, most of which are manufactured in France by craftsmen certified to the same level.
Professionals who are available and ready to listen will provide you with a free estimate on request, and will guide you through the installation process. Prices can vary from 300 to 1000 euros.
Paris recharging point: Installing your own recharging point
Installing a charging point will differ depending on where you install it.
Why install your own recharging point?
Here we look at a question of delivery and comfort.
The electric car must be recharged almost daily. So it's important to make sure you have the necessary equipment at your disposal. The network of recharging stations in Paris can be a great help, but having your own charging point close at hand is certainly more efficient.
The cost of recharging, as well as the journey time to the charging point, will be saved if you have a recharging point at your disposal, whether it's at home or in the workplace. So you won't have to keep going to public terminals at random.
It is also a question of the availability and overuse of public terminalswhich are then accessible at random. It is therefore more practical and accessible to install your own recharging point.
What's more, companies and businesses that are well equipped with recharging stations attract more customers by providing them with this extra convenience.
They then extend the time visitors spend there.
They also make everyday life easier for their employees, who no longer have to worry about recharging their vehicles.
The different types of refill
Which one to choose?
The type of refill you choose will depend on the integrated battery to your electric vehicle. Vehicles with a larger battery and longer range will require more charging time.
But the power of the charging point you choose will play a key role in the success of the recharge time. We're talking about :
- Slow charge - 3.7 kW
- Normal load - 7kW
- Accelerated charging - 22kW
Charges of more than 50 kW (fast charge) are very rare. You'll probably only find them on motorways.
For charging at home or at the workplace, we recommend installing these two charging infrastructures:
- The wall socket : Provides enhanced recharging compared with a conventional household socket. Green up can be wall-mounted, in your garage for example. This type of recharging offers a slow charge of 3kW, lasting from 8 hours to 13 hours.
- The charging point : Allows higher-power charging, which can be installed in your private car park, and is also very effective if you share the charging point with other people. It offers a slow charge of 7kW (single-phase installation), then 11kW and 22kW (three-phase installation), for a charge lasting between 5h and 7h.

Choosing the right recharging point installer in Paris
How do you choose your bollard installer?
The following criteria must be taken into account when choosing an installer.
- A team of certified professionals (IRVE) : not just anyone can install charging points! The company you choose must work with a team of certified professionals (IRVE certification) to ensure proper installation and avoid problems. If you don't have this certification, the organisations won't be able to grant you financial aid for the installation.
- A team that respects installation laws : just like a water heater or a heating system, the installation of a new charging point is subject to demanding standards that must be respected. If this is not the case, not only will the warranty on the device be void in the event of a problem, but you will probably have problems with your bollard.
- A company that respects you and answers your questions: When you make a purchase like this, it's normal to have questions. A legitimate company will not only have plenty of information available on its website, but will also be able to answer any questions you may have. If a company dodges questions and answers only that it knows what it's doing... run, it's probably not certified to do the job.
- A detailed plan of the service : Related to the previous point, you'll know you're dealing with a good company if it's transparent. In other words, they explain the process to you from A to Z, from quotation to installation to after-sales service. The company will provide you with all the details of your purchase as well as its warranty, and will be on hand in the event of any post-installation problems.
