Electric cars in Grenoble

In 2017, Grenoble-Alpes Métropole wishes to encourage the use of low-emission vehicles in order to reduce pollution and improve air quality. A prefiguration ZFE was set up on January 1, 2017 for goods vehicles. Grenoble has become a low-emission zone (ZFE) as the scheme has been extended to the vehicle fleet. Grenoble-Alpes Métropole's goal is to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions by 75% by 2026 compared with 2017. Like all major French cities, Grenoble is keen to develop the use of electric cars. The city of Grenoble is committed to promoting low-pollution urban mobility, and intends to ban diesel vehicles by 2025 and in the longer term for petrol vehicles.. By 2025, only post-2011 petrol vehicles will be allowed on the road. Electric cars, which emit no CO2 or noise pollution, are often favored by cities.

Since February 2020, the Grenoble-Alpes Métropole EPZ has been extended to 27 communes: Bresson, Champagnier, Champ-sur-Drac, Claix, Corenc, Échirolles, Eybens, Fontaine, Gières, Grenoble, Jarrie, La Tronche, Meylan, Montchaboud, Noyarey, Poisat, Pont-de-Claix, Quaix-en-Chartreuse, Saint-Égrève, Saint-Martin-d'Hères and Domaine Universitaire, Saint-Martin-le-Vinoux, Sassenage, Seyssinet-Pariset, Seyssins, Varces, Venon, Veurey-Voroise.

Grenoble-Alpes Métropole offers a number of electric recharging points in public spacesin addition to those already available in public parking lots 25 stations and more will be added in the future.

Back in February 2020, when retrofitting was not yet legal in France, the Grenoble metropolis was the first local authority to offer financial support for this operation.
