Charging stations in Caen
Like many towns and cities in France, Caen is also committed to the ecological transition, in particular by encouraging the use of electric vehicles to get around. According to available data, Normandy, the region in which Caen is located, is actively participating in the development of recharging infrastructure for electric vehicles.
In February 2025, Caen will have 130 electric charging points, including 5 fast charging points (over 43 kW). To meet growing demand, the Syndicat Départemental d'Énergies du Calvados (SDEC ÉNERGIE) is actively working to expand this network, with the ambitious aim of achieving 1,000 additional charging points by 2027 across the whole of the Calvados département.
Although Caen has never had an electric car-sharing service similar to Bluecub, the city has developed its recharging infrastructure and offers electric mobility solutions. For example, Getaround, a car-sharing service, offers the opportunity to hire electric vehicles in Caen. In addition, the town has 125 charging points compatible with the Chargemap Pass, making it easier for users to access recharging facilities.
This initiative is part of a regional drive to support the rapid growth in sales of electric cars and significantly improve access to recharging solutions for all users in the Caen region. SDEC ÉNERGIE plans to invest between €7 and €8 million over 5 years to achieve these objectives.

Charging points in Caen: extending the network of charging points
Caen currently has :
- A total of 152 electric charging points.
- 5 fast-charging stations (over 43 kW).

The installation of charging points in France continues to be a priority for the government. To keep pace with the growth in sales of electric cars, an ambitious national target of 400,000 publicly accessible charging points by 2030 has been set.
With this in mind, the Syndicat Départemental d'Énergies du Calvados (SDEC ÉNERGIE) is actively working to expand the charging network, with the aim of achieving 1,000 additional charging points by 2027 across the whole of the Calvados département.

The technician's professionalism, punctuality and kindness; the Beev salesman Yacine's follow-up and involvement. I'm really satisfied and I'd like to thank them both very much.
I am very satisfied with the work carried out on the installation of the terminal. The technicians were extremely professional. I would also like to thank Mr Yassine Benamara who, following a delay in the delivery of the bollard, was able to listen and react quickly to resolve this problem.
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!
