How do I recharge my electric car in Marseille?
There are various options for recharging your electric car in Marseille, depending on your situation.
Recharging at public charging points in Marseille
The city also plans to deploy more than 275 public fast-charging stations by 2021. These charging points will be deployed as a priority in town centres, tourist areas and shops. The sockets accepted are T2, CHAdeMO and COMBO.
- Domestic sockets can be used for normal recharging
- The type 2 (T2) socket is the European standard for normal (up to 7 kW), accelerated (up to 22 kW) and rapid (up to 43 kW) recharging, depending on the model of electric vehicle.
- Combo and Chademo sockets for rapid recharging, up to 50 kW
The easiest way to access these charging points is via the Larecharge service. The network guarantees that all residents of the Metropolitan Region can recharge their batteries quickly and at a reduced rate. It is compatible with the national network for long journeys. You will need to create a client account.

- You live in a private residence :
If you live in a private residence, you will benefit from assistance from the Advenir programme. The Advenir programme finances the supply and installation of charging points for electric vehicles.

Reviews
I highly recommend BEEV and its customer advisor EMMANUEL DAVID VENZE. He listened to my needs and constraints and was able to advise me on the choice of bollard. Very quick quote, good follow-up and listened to my requests to finalise the quote. The IRVE-certified installer then got in touch with me very quickly; the installation was carried out and met my expectations in less than a week after signing the quote. All in all, I would recommend BEEV without hesitation for a quality service.
Very good operation. Installation of a charging point. Very satisfied with the result.
The quote was given very quickly and so was the installation! For the Carrefour gift card, I had to contact them again because I hadn't received anything, but in one morning and in less than two emails, with a very responsive after-sales service, everything was sorted! So you could say that everything went almost perfectly from start to finish. As for the terminal, it's very powerful, intuitive and optimised. The application is very practical and ergonomic. I highly recommend it!
Everything perfect. Lead time. Exchange. Quality equipment and very professional installer.
Just perfect! If only all purchases went this smoothly. I had my charging point installed in August via the Carrefour/BEEV partnership (€100 gift card + charging cable). If you can, ask for Ulysse DESTOM, he's super responsive, very friendly and manages to meet your needs. Quote validated on a Friday, bollard received on Wednesday and installed 7 days later. Nothing to say about the installer, he configured the bollard, tested it and it's been working perfectly for 4 months. The app is very useful for monitoring consumption. I recommend BEEV without reservation and I recommend Ulysse for its support. Frédéric
Bollard installer, very serious, there was a small problem with the choice of bollard, they managed everything from start to finish, they came back to install a new bollard and followed us through to the end.
