The price of kWh is already falling again at Electra. The network also announced new stations on the Vinci highways.
After having blocked its price in 2022, the Electra network had to resolve to increase it on January 16, 2023. The French company had no other choice but to pass on the surge in electricity prices. The price per kWh had thus gone from 0.44 to 0.54 €.
But good news, we discovered on the site of the French firm that this price had already been revised downwards. With a bank card or the Electra application, it now costs €0.49 per kWh.
It remains to find an Electra terminal! The network is still sparse, but it is developing at a good pace. In mid-January, Electra had 40 stations in France, representing just over 200 fast charging points. The company has already signed numerous partnerships to install terminals, for example in the car parks of Jardiland.
