What are the EV charging facilities like in France?
I am considering buying a plug-in hybrid before the end of the year. My concern is that I am planning a driving holiday in France next year, is there sufficient support for recharging in France during my trip?

France has over 30,000 EV chargers, but depending on which plug-in hybrid car you have, the recharging rate may be limited to just 7kW. This means you'll be waiting for two or three hours to get 40 or 50 miles of charge.
If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.
