Install charging stations in Pays de la Loire

Finding a charge point in the Pays de la Loire won't be any more complicated or any different from finding one in France. Brittany or in Charente-Maritime. Charging stations are often located in strategic locations such as shopping centre car parks, hotel car parks or motorway service stations. 

To be sure of finding a recharging station on your route, the safest thing to do is to use applications that list charging stations in your region. We've compiled the list below: 

• ChargeMap  The Electric Vehicle Charging Station: is an interactive map listing a huge number of charging stations. It has been specially designed for users of electric vehicles. It allows users of these vehicles to plan their journeys as effectively as possible, and to add charging stations themselves that the application would not have referenced on its own. 
• Ouest Charge: is a network of charging stations operating specifically in the west of France, more specifically in the Pays de la Loire, Normandy and Brittany. In addition to the application that lists the charging points, Ouest Charge offers a subscription with a charging card that allows you to recharge at a preferential rate at the network's charging points. 
• Google Maps: it's a little-known feature for the general public, but the application from the Google giant allows you to locate nearby charging points! 
• Plugshare: based on the same principle as ChargeMap, Plugshare shows the location of charging points indicated by its users around the world. The application is very practical if you travel a lot.

If you want your charging point be resistant to water, erosion and impact, but above all, if you want to install it outdoors, it will have to meet certain standards. Your bollard must meet the following standards IK08 and IP54 These standards indicate that your equipment is capable of withstanding shocks and rain.

Have you recently purchased an electric vehicle and would like to equip yourself with a charging point to fully benefit from the electric vehicle experience? Let me tell you, you're doing the right thing! By installing a charging point at your home, you can avoid the hassle of recharging your vehicle. It couldn't be simpler. 

1. You send us a photo of your Linky meter, photos of the location where you want to install the terminal and the cable route. 
2. You will also be asked for some information about the power available to your home. 
3. Based on the information you give us, we will provide you with a quotation. Once you have signed the quotation, one of our installers will contact you. IRVE will be able to carry out its work! 

Individuals are not eligible for assistance ADVENIR unless you live in a condominium. In this case, and only in this case, ADVENIR aid can be granted in two forms: 

• for individual charging solutions 
• for collective charging solutions. 

Unlike the ADVENIR premium, you can also benefit from a tax credit when you install a charge point in your home! The tax credit is available to households for the installation of a charging point electric. You will be able to access it if the expenditure was incurred between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2025.

This credit, which replaces the CITE, applies whether your home is a primary or secondary residence. There are no income requirements for this new tax credit. You must be resident in France for tax purposes as an owner, tenant or lodger. The tax credit is calculated on the purchase price (including VAT) of the equipment or materials shown on the invoice. Parts and supplies intended to be incorporated into the equipment or appliance or to constitute it once assembled are also included.

The credit is capped at 75 % of the costs incurred, with a maximum amount of 500 euros per charging system.

NB:

The amount of the tax credit for the installation of an electric vehicle charging point is :

• 500 per charging system for a connected charging point
• 300 per charging system for a non-connected charging point, with or without load shedding

If you have recently fitted your vehicle fleet of electric vehicles, then you may want to install charging stations to track your fleet's transition to ecomobility. It's very simple: 

• Tell us about your project 
• We will ask you for a floor plan of the building 
• A photo of the installation site 
• Your electricity bill to determine the power available 

Depending on your project, an on-site survey will be recommended to a greater or lesser extent.
Following these discussions, we'll send you a quote, and if it's signed, we'll make an appointment to carry out the installation. All that's left for you to do is collect your subsidies! 

If your company is eligible, you may qualify for a subsidy. This aid can only be applied on condition that your employees benefit from this offer during their working hours. 

To obtain this grant, the following projects are eligible for the programme ADVENIR : 

• For private car parks for HGV fleets: an aid rate of 50 % and a fixed amount between €2,200 and €960,000 excluding VAT,
