According to the latest Avere-France barometer, the charging stations have never been as asked as in July 2025. Good news, which proves that electric cars are more numerous than ever on the roads.
Electric car sales are not really at the party right nowand for several months. If business registrations have increased, this is not the case for those concerning individuals. Even if some models are doing well, such as the Renault 5 e-tech, which was the most sold in France in July.
Good news in France
However, if the figures are not really encouraging, another has something to reassure us. This comes from Avere-France, which has just published its latest barometer on the recharge of electric cars. It appears that in July 2025, a charge point has counted on average 29.5 load sessions over the month. By way of comparison, this figure was only 16.9 to the same period in 2024, while The number of terminals increased by 22 % in one year.
This clearly means that there are more electric cars on our roads, and that they were used to go on vacation. Moreover, this data confirm the recent figures published by Powerdot, which reported 92 % increase in attendance From its stations during the weekend of August 1 to 3, 2025. Finally, a final data confirms the increase in the number of zero-emission cars (exhaust) on French roads.
According to the Avere-France, no less than 109 GWH were consumed in July Only, against less than 60 GWh in 2024. A single point could still improve: the reliability of the terminals. According to the barometer, 70 % of the latter were accessible 99 % of the time. For its part, the immediate access rate on the terminals remains stable and set at 95 %, which is very good.
This figure means ” The average share of the time during which at least one point of charge of an area is neither occupied, nor excluding service, nor in maintenance ». Concretely, this means that In 95 % of the time, it is possible to connect directly As soon as you arrive at the charging station, without having to wait. A very reassuring point, especially in a period such as school holidays, where many motorists fear taking the road at that time by electric car. Enough to make Clément Molizon, general delegate of Avere-France say: “All the lights are green!” »»
A constant expansion network
But rest assured, limits, there are. We were indeed counted No less than 174,574 in France on July 31, 2025which is equivalent to 259 load points per 100,000 inhabitants on average. However, you should know that the latter are not necessarily distributed in a fair manner in the territory. Unsurprisingly, it is in Île-de-France that there are the most stations, 6,893with no less than 31,115 terminals.
The least well -equipped region remains Guyana, with 30 stations and as many terminals available. However, it is in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes that the total proposed power is the highest, with a total of 1,088,151 kW. Regarding the implantation of the terminals, Most are installed in shops (44%) such as shopping centers, followed by various parking lots (28%) and on roads (16%). As for power, there is something for everyone and all needs in the territory.
However, the overwhelming majority of terminals deliver between 7.4 and 22 kW By alternating (47 %) and 32 % offer less than 7.4 kW. The stations offering very high power are still in the minority although in broad progression, since those in direct current of more than 150 kW represent 11 % of the offer, with a presence in particular on the motorway areas and in the parking lots of the shopping centers.
