Do I need a Crit'Air vignette for an electric car?

Do I need a Crit'Air vignette for my Mercedes EQA for Cherbourg and the surrounding region?

Asked on 18 May 2023 by Brian Taylor

Answered by David Ross
As of January 2023, the zones requiring a Crit'Air sticker are within the A86 area of Paris from Monday to Friday, as well as Lyon, Aix-Marseille, Toulouse, Nice, Montpellier, Strasbourg, Grenoble, Rouen, Reims and Saint-Étienne.

You can view the information in more detail on the government website here: certificat-air.gouv.fr/, which suggests you will not require one for your vehicle in the Cherbourg area. However, it is worth double-checking - you can consult the government website or contact the local tourist board, but at less than 4 Euros for a sticker, it may be worth buying one anyway.
