The plus? These charging stations are universal, with a choice of plugs(type 2, type 3, domestic E/F, Combo 2 cable, CHAdeMo cable). All cars can be charged, including two-wheelers. Each station offers 3 charging points where 3 vehicles can be charged simultaneously.
There are currently 60 stations and 180 recharging stations throughout Paris.
