In the Rouen metropolitan area, the town of Elbeuf, parking is completely free for all electric vehicles on public roads. And that's not all! Not only is parking free, so is recharging! It's taken care of by the Rouen Normandie region. To do this, you'll need a Creavenir badge, which will give you access to the charging stations. 

It's easy to apply. All you need is :

• Dyour driver's license
• Dhe registration document for your electric vehicle
• Dy identity card
• Vur telephone numbers
• Your contact details postal address
• Your contact details e-mail address.

Once you've made your request, you'll need to pick it up at one of the metropole's reception sites, available on the website : Métropole Rouen Normandie.

For free parking, you will need to register your vehicle with LAPI (Lecture Automatique des Plaques d'Immatriculation) 

To do so, go to Pay my parking and register.

You will then need to provide the following documents: 

• Identification 
• Vehicle registration document in your name and at your home address

Whether you're a public institution, a business or an individual, you'll need to consider your needs before installing any charging station. 

Examine your power requirements 

If you're a business or public institution, your future charging station will be used many times by all types of vehicles in a very short space of time. It will also meet a strong need, whether on the part of your employees or simply users. To meet this demand, we recommend the use of fast charging stations ranging from 22 to 100 kW. This will ensure more efficient circulation of electric vehicles than with charging stations ranging from 7.4 kW to 22 kW. 

If you're a private individual who wants to recharge your vehicle overnight, for example, a simple 7.4 kW or 11 kW terminal will do the trick. 

Where to place your terminal? 

Another point not to be overlooked is the location of the terminal. If you wish to to install a charging station as a local authority in If you're a local authority in Normandy, your charging stations are likely to be located outdoors, on the road or in a parking lot. In this case, your bollards will need to comply with safety standards, to withstand shocks and weather conditions. To be placed outdoors, your bollards will need to meet at least the following standards IK08 and IP55 STANDARDS.

Whether at work, in public or at home, owning a connected charging station can bring added value. Connectivity is an increasingly important part of our daily lives. Connected charging stations are relatively expensive, but can be highly profitable. 

These terminals allow you to : 

• Track your electricity consumption 
• Some allow you to configure the terminal to charge only during off-peak hours.
• Block foreign users from recharging (you never know) 
• Automatic power management to avoid overloading and blowing lead seals 

Load shedding regulates the power drawn by the terminal according to the power available on your network.

Among other things, it becomes necessary on certain installations where the subscribed power is insufficient to support the bollard's consumption. We recommend that you include this option, especially if you are a private customer. 

As with any installation of a recharging point in a company or public institution, you are entitled to ADVENIR aid. 

In order to benefit from the ADVENIRsubsidy, you'll need to subscribe to the Supervision, Subscription and Maintenance options. These options will ensure that the charging station has a certain lifespan. To benefit from the ADVENIR subsidy, you'll also need to choose a certified installer and hire an IRVE-qualified electrician. The administrative procedures are fairly lengthy, but don't panic! Beev will take care of it for you!

To benefit from the bonus ADVENIRbonus, you need to install one or more recharging points in a private parking lot or one open to the public (customers, visitors, suppliers, other...).

The bonus ADVENIR covers supply and installation costs up to 30% for charging points in private parking lots and for the intermediate target. The maximum subsidies (excluding VAT) vary according to the theoretical maximum recharging power of the equipment installed.

If the applicant is a company, the scale is as follows: 

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

Please note: to obtain this local subsidy, your company must meet the conditions of the national program ADVENIR :

• For private parking lots, for truck fleets: a 50% aid rate and a fixed amount between €2,200 and €960,000 excluding VAT,
• For private parking lots open to the public: an aid rate of 30% and a fixed amount of between €1,000 and €2,700 excluding VAT,
• For parking lots open to the public (intermediate target): an aid rate of 30% and an amount of €1,000 before tax,
• For company fleets and employees of short-term rental vehicles: a rate of assistance of 20% and a fixed amount of €600 excluding VAT.

IMPORTANT: these incentives for recharging points open to the general public in private parking lots and for the intermediate target group (hotels, restaurants and shops), will be withdrawn from the ADVENIR program on August 1, 2023.

Individuals living in condominiums can also benefit from the ADVENIR bonus. Depending on the type of use chosen, the amounts and rates of assistance will vary. Here's the scale:

Depending on the type of use (individual or collective), the amount and rate of subsidy per recharging point may vary:

• For individual use: 50% aid rate, with a ceiling of €960 (excl. VAT) per recharging point,
• For shared use: 50% aid rate, with a ceiling of €1,660 (excl. VAT) per recharging point,
• For collective infrastructure in condominiums: 50% aid rate to cover infrastructure costs and a ceiling of €3,000 (excl. VAT) per charging point for outdoor roadwork.

If you live in a single-family home and would like to install a recharging point at home, they will be eligible for MaPrimeRénov'. 

What's more, thanks to the collaboration between Advenir and the employers' organization Mobilians, Advenir has opened up financial assistance to automotive service professionals. To find out more, we invite you to consult this article on assistance for bollard installation.

With the MaPrimeRénov' tax credit, you can benefit from a retrofit for the purchase of an electric charging station up to December 31, 2025. 

Unlike the CITE, the MaPrimeRénov' tax credit is available for installations on both primary and secondary residences! 

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

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

You should be aware that the tax authorities may take back the tax credit if, after having benefited from it, you are reimbursed for the installation costs within 5 years. This recovery cannot be made following a claim. 

There is no universal criterion that will enable you to choose your service provider with certainty. However, it is important to take at least one criterion into account: certification. To be eligible for ADVENIR assistance, the service provider in charge of installation must be IRVE certified. This certification not only gives you access to ADVENIR assistance, it also guarantees quality. It's a guarantee that the work will be carried out correctly.
