Financial aid for the installation of a charging point for professionals 2024
Advenir bonus for companies
The programme Prime Advenir has been extended to 2027The new scheme includes new allowances and changes to support the installation of charging points. Amounts of aid and ceilings have been adjusted for certain categories of project.
For the installation of charging points in private car parks open to the public, the rate of aid can now be up to 50 % of the pre-tax cost of supplies, equipment and works. The aid ceilings vary between €1,700 and €7,500 excluding VAT per charging point, depending on the nature of the project and the type of vehicle involved.
With regard to car parks dedicated to company fleets and employees, it is important to note that from 1 January 2023, the Advenir premium no longer covers these installations, except for certain specific categories, such as car service professionals. For the latter, the rate of aid can be up to 20 % of the cost excluding tax, with a ceiling set at €600 excluding tax per recharging point.
In addition, the programme has introduced new categories of aid, in particular for charging points for heavy goods vehicle fleets. These projects will benefit from an aid rate of up to 50 %, with a ceiling ranging from €2,200 to €960,000 excluding VAT per charging point.
It is essential to keep abreast of developments in the programme, as some changes will be implemented gradually, particularly in the second half of 2024. For the latest and most accurate information, we recommend that you visit the official Advenir website.

Local aid
In addition to national grants such as the ADVENIR bonus, some local authorities (communes, regions, départements) offer specific subsidies for the installation of electric charging points. These local subsidies vary from region to region, and can often be combined with national subsidies.
- Examples of Local Aid
- Normandy region:
◦ Offers assistance of 30 % of the amount excluding tax for the purchase and installation of a home charging point.
- Grand Est Region :
◦ Subsidises up to 70 % of the pre-tax price of the charging point, with a ceiling of €1,300 per charging point.
- Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for these grants, the charging points must generally comply with certain standards, such as IEC 62196-2 and Directive 2014/94/EU on the deployment of infrastructure for alternative fuels.
NB: We recommend that you contact your local authorities (town hall, regional council, etc.) to find out about the specific support available in your region or town and the steps you need to take to qualify.
Obligations of charging stations
The main obligations are as follows:
- Pre-equipping car parks: New or renovated buildings must be pre-equipped with charging points, whether they are car parks for employees or for the public. This obligation has been in place since 2012.
- Quotas of reserved spaces: For car parks with more than 40 spaces, a certain percentage of spaces must be reserved for electric charging points. This percentage varies according to the type of activity (tertiary, industry, public service).
- One recharging point for every 20 spaces: From 2025, the French Climate and Resilience Act will require all non-residential car parks, whether private or public, to be equipped with one recharging point for every 20 spaces. This obligation also applies to car parks that are delegated, managed or contracted out.
- Fleet renewal: Local authorities must gradually renew their fleets, giving priority to electric vehicles. Quotas are set each year: 30% minimum in 2024, 40% minimum in 2025, and 70% in 2030.
La Mobility Orientation Act (LOM) has clarified and strengthened the obligations concerning the installation of charging points for electric cars in public buildings. local authorities and public institutions.
| OBLIGATIONS | ||
|---|---|---|
| No. of spaces to be pre-equipped for car parks with more than 10 spaces | ||
| Between 11 and 20 | > 20 | |
| Residential buildings (car parks inside or adjoining), new or undergoing major renovation, including the car park or its electrical installation. | 100% | |
| New non-residential buildings (car parks inside or adjoining) or those undergoing major renovation, including the car park or its electrical installation. | 20% of spaces, including 2% with a minimum of one charge point, accessible to PRMs | |
| New mixed-use buildings or buildings undergoing major renovation* (car parks inside or adjoining) with predominantly residential use | 100% | These same provisions apply pro rata to the number of spaces reserved for residential or non-residential use. |
| New mixed-use buildings or buildings undergoing major renovation* (car parks inside or adjoining) with predominantly non-residential use | 20% of spaces, including 2% with a minimum of one charge point, accessible to PRMs | |
