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.

You want to know which aids are you eligible to reduce your purchase bill?
We explain everything!
Electric cars are very popular in urban areas, particularly in big cities like Lyon. They can be used for your daily journeys at low cost, while helping to protect the environment.
The major networks of charging points make access to public charging points as easy as possible. In this regard, IVIZIA and Demeter are the best-developed networks in Lyon and its 59 municipalities.
However, 80 % of electric vehicle users now prefer to install their own recharging point. They prefer to do this at home or at work, so that they can recharge their vehicle safely and comfortably on a daily basis.
That's why, Beev has compiled a list of the best charging point installers in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

Driving an electric vehicle in Lyon: 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.
These restrictions primarily concern metropolises with the heaviest traffic.
In Lyon, the scope of the Low Emission Zones covers virtually the entire city.
To find out more about the EPZ restrictions in Lyon, please see this article.
Free parking
Priority is now being given to clean mobility.
To encourage the use of electric vehicles, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region and in some French towns, parking is totally free. For residents and visitors alike.
From 2019, parking for electric vehicles, in the Lyon metropolitan area and in some of its communes, is therefore free of charge.
To take advantage of these benefits, you need to go to your local town hall, which will issue your clean vehicle with a Crit'Air 0 emissions sticker.
The Greater Lyon IVIZIA Network
Public recharging points are spread throughout the city, with the aim of facilitating access to electric recharging.
À Lyonthe Demeter group and Ivizia in full deployment. And eBy September 2020, Ivizia had already installed 25 of the 641 charging points planned.
This network will feature :
- 59 municipalities equipped with recharging stations
- 600 charge points available
- 170 charging stations - from 7 to 150 kW

Lyon lacks charging points
"Frankly, I don't rely too much on bollards in town".
At least the message conveyed by this testimonial is clear. Charging points are quite effective in the city for short-term recharging. As the network of charging points in Lyon is still being developed, it does not yet meet the needs of the whole city.
"I charge at home - we're lucky enough to have a detached house. I have a special plug, and even solar panels. When I come to Lyon, I can use a parking space that has a charging point, but they are rare and not often free.
The network of public charging points is more or less developed depending on the city. In Lyon, there are several reports of overuse of the charging points. This is blocking access to recharging for some people.
Installing an individual charging point is therefore an effective solution for residents of Lyon who want to recharge their electric vehicle on a daily basis.
The advantages of installing a recharging point in Lyon
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 using 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.
Technical
IRVE certification (Charging infrastructure This certification, which is compulsory in France, is awarded to experienced electricians and craftsmen who have their own plugs and cables, most of which are made 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.
Why install your own recharging point?
Installing your own charging point ensures 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 Lyon can be a great help, but having your own charging point close at hand is certainly more efficient.
You'll save the cost of recharging and the time it takes to get to the charging point. If you have a charging 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 life easier for their employees, who no longer have to worry about recharging their vehicles.
The different types of refill
The type of refill you choose will depend on the battery with which the electric vehicle is equipped. The recharging time varies according to the size of the vehicle. battery and theautonomy of the vehicle. The larger it is, the longer it will take to recharge.
There are 4 types of charge, which fill up your vehicle with energy over different charging times.
- Slow charge - 3.7 kW
- Normal load - 7kW
- Accelerated charging - 22kW
Loads of more than 50 kW, fast chargeare 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 : Allows enhanced recharging compared with a conventional domestic socket. The 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 Lyon
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.
