How many EV charging stations are there In France?

I am considering buying a full electric car after my good experience with a PHEV. However I will be touring in France next summer. Is France well provided with public electric charging points around the country ?

As of 2022 France had over 82,000 public charging points, an increase of 52% over the previous year, and by May 2023 this number had exceeded 100,000. The majority of modern EVs will display charging points in the navigation, so unless you are deep into rural areas of France you should have few issues in keeping your EV charged up.
