More and more electric drivers are also heading for France.
France is and remains one of the most popular holiday destinations. The motorway network in France is less dense than in Germany or the Benelux because fairly large parts of France are sparsely populated. As a result, there are 4 north-south connections; the A10, A20, A71-A75 and A6-A7.
TOLL
The toll roads in France often look well maintained. Picnic tables have been placed in parking spaces and sometimes there are playgrounds. In France, road users do not pay road tax, which is why a toll is levied. If you drive from Belgium or the Netherlands to the south, you can easily count on a peage of 80 to even 120 euros for the entire route. In addition, the costs also differ per class of the vehicle you are traveling with. Who with a passenger car completes the 'Road of Soleil' (Paris-Marseille) will pay about €60.

electric driver
More and more electric drivers are also heading for France. In recent years, the French charging network has expanded considerably. However, in some places in France you have to keep a close eye on your remaining range.
Fortunately, the electric driver in France is no longer solely dependent on the Corri-Door network. The French charging network has improved significantly since 2020. Providers such as Ionity, Allego and Fastned have realized various fast charging stations there and are also continuing to expand their French charging network. You can at least go to those stations for a quick charge.
charging desert
ANWB warns for the 'French loading desert'. However, there is an area in France where normal charging stations are also scarce. This is also known as the French loading desert. Especially in Burgundy and Auvergne, the supply lags behind and there is sometimes simply no charging station in the area. This can be difficult, especially for owners of electric cars with a small battery pack.
