Part of EVBox since 2018, the Bordeaux site is dedicated to the research, development and production of EVBox fast and ultra-fast (DC) charging stations.
The EVBox Bordeaux site is one of the flagships of the French electric mobility industry. Comprising both an R&D laboratory and a production site, EVBox Bordeaux supports local employment with more than 120 employees and continues to recruit.
Following the expansion of the site in November 2019, EVBox Bordeaux can produce up to 5,400 units a year to meet growing demand for fast and ultra-fast charging infrastructure in France and abroad.
Thanks to substantial investment in its Bordeaux research and development (R&D) centre dedicated to fast-charging, EVBox has been developing cutting-edge technology in Bordeaux for 13 years to meet and anticipate future needs for fast and ultra-fast charging of electric vehicles.

The ADVENIR programme has been extended for the period 2020-2023, with a new budget of 100 million euros. For ADVENIR, this represents a 5-fold increase in funding, with the aim of financing more than 45,000 new recharging points by the end of 2023.
The ADVENIR programme run by Avere-France and its subsidies concern a wide range of players:
residential car parks
private car parks for private use (e.g. company car parks)
private car parks for public use (e.g. supermarkets and hypermarkets)
roadways and recharging hubs
modernisation of recharging infrastructure built before March 2017
Expenditure on charging point equipment and installation (connection downstream of the delivery point) is eligible. Maintenance and supervision costs are not covered, but are included in the specifications of the ADVENIR programme.

As part of the stimulus plan, a budget of €100 million for 2022 has been earmarked to subsidise the installation of 440 ultra-fast charging stations for electric vehicles along France’s motorways and trunk roads.
To find out more about these subsidies and the eligibility criteria, see our article dedicated to the recovery plan.
Not all electric vehicles are compatible with direct current (DC) charging. You need to take a close look at the vehicle manufacturer’s data sheet.
Just because a vehicle is new doesn’t mean it’s compatible. For example, the electric Twingo is not compatible with DC charging. To find out more, see our article on the difference between alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC).
There are two types of charging point for electric vehicles: alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). When an electric vehicle is charging, the main difference between AC and DC charging is where the conversion between the two types of current takes place.
