Charging stations in Châteauroux
Châteauroux is developing its charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. The town has around 35 charging points spread across its territory, offering a practical solution for drivers of clean vehicles.
These charging points are installed in strategic locations to facilitate access to recharging, whether in town centres, near shops or on busy roads.In addition to these public charging points, Châteauroux is also encouraging the installation of private charging points, notably as part of its "Osons la transition" project. The aim of this community initiative is to raise awareness of the challenges of sustainable mobility and encourage residents to adopt more environmentally-friendly behaviour. The city supports private individuals and businesses wishing to install charging stations, by providing them with information and personalised advice.

Charging stations in Châteauroux: rolling out the network of charging stations
Châteauroux currently has :
- 36 public charging points throughout the country, including 18 fast-charging stations (rated at over 43 kW).
- 2 free terminals accessible in certain strategic locations.
- Most of the charging points are equipped with Type 2 sockets, with extended compatibility thanks to the Chargelec 36 network and the Chargemap Pass.
Despite this infrastructure, the number of charging points is still limited to keep pace with the steady increase in sales of electric vehicles (EVs). The current network, with a charging point every 15 km or so in the département, is a promising start, but more needs to be done to support the ecological transition.
Installing new charging points and improving their accessibility remain priorities for local authorities and the Syndicat Départemental d'Énergie de l'Indre (SDEI), which manages a large part of the network. These initiatives are designed to support electric mobility and meet the growing needs of users.

Reviews
Ordering and receiving the terminal was very quick, and the advisor (Alaé Mahmoudi) was very helpful. As for the installation, Salim and his colleague were very efficient, patient and conscientious. Our thanks to them!
High-quality charging point and expert installation (well done to Salim) in less than 2 hours.
Good work by the sub-contractor from Rouen to install our Ohme terminal in the Le Havre region. A trench not initially planned was even dug to finish the job properly. The installer finished late, and we'd like to thank him for his professionalism. As for Beev, Ulysse Destom was able to meet our expectations and the deadline was respected. Well done! Thank you for everything 🙂
I highly recommend BEEV and its customer advisor EMMANUEL DAVID VENZE. He listened to my needs and constraints and was able to advise me on the choice of bollard. Very quick quote, good follow-up and listened to my requests to finalise the quote. The IRVE-certified installer then got in touch with me very quickly; the installation was carried out and met my expectations in less than a week after signing the quote. All in all, I would recommend BEEV without hesitation for a quality service.
Very good operation. Installation of a charging point. Very satisfied with the result.
The quote was given very quickly and so was the installation! For the Carrefour gift card, I had to contact them again because I hadn't received anything, but in one morning and in less than two emails, with a very responsive after-sales service, everything was sorted! So you could say that everything went almost perfectly from start to finish. As for the terminal, it's very powerful, intuitive and optimised. The application is very practical and ergonomic. I highly recommend it!

The solution to this problem is to install a charging point directly in your home.
First of all, having a charging point at home means you can charge your vehicle freely. From home, you can charge your vehicle at any time and be free to go about your business.

These elements protect and withstand particular conditions, such as the risk of the charging point overheating or potential short circuits. Its circuit breakers and differential switches will enable you to protect people and equipment.
In fact, we strongly advise against regularly recharging your electric vehicle using a standard 10 A socket, to avoid any risk of overheating the components and causing a fire.
The environmental reasons for a charging point

| Accelerated | 22 kW | 3-4 €/hour |
| Fast | > 43 kW | 6-8 €/hour |
Since 6 January 2025, a new pricing structure has been in place to ensure a more coherent offer. The new tariffs are based on a mix between the energy delivered (kWh) and the duration of the charging session.. The aim of this change is to better reflect the reality of the service provided and to encourage vehicle rotation.It is important to note that spaces equipped with charging points are not conventional parking spaces. Users are asked to vacate the space as soon as charging is complete to ensure that the charging points are available to other users.
Installing a charging point is not just for private individuals. If you are a professional, you should know that it is possible to install charging stations in your company. L'business recharging infrastructure also offers a number of advantages.

What's more, recharging points will also help to keep your customers at your recharging station. Recharging a car generally takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour, if the charging point used has a fast charge.
In the meantime, drivers can run their errands or eat out in a restaurant, safe in the knowledge that their vehicle has filled up with electricity.

Installing a recharging point in your car park is also a good idea for your employees. Giving them easy access to the charging points does a number of things:
- Adding value: charging stations provide an extra service for your employees, in this case recharging their vehicles at work.

Whether for hotels or restaurantsWhen it comes to electric cars, customers need comfort, tranquillity and practicality. Your current and future customers may well include electric car users. There are several reasons why you need to install electric charging points for them:
- Save time: the charging points at the hotel make it easier for your guests to access the charging points.
- Sensitive to the environment: the installation of electric terminals shows that all the hotel's employees are sensitive to the environment and wish to participate in this ecological transition.
- Competitive advantage: as this service is not offered by all hotels, installing charging stations allows you to stand out from your competitors. As a result, you can attract electric car users to your hotel and keep them coming back for more.
- Increase your visibility and referencing: installing charging stations also allows you to be visible on charging maps, such as Mobilité alternative or even Chargemap. This makes it easy for users to locate a recharging station and public or private car parks throughout the country.
