Recharging an electric car is straightforward for people living in houses with private parking, but it poses significant challenges for the approximately 30 million French residents who live in apartments. A recent study by Logivvolt, a company focused on financing recharging infrastructure in shared housing, confirms that people living in such environments have clear expectations about access to recharging. However, the study also reveals that simply installing charging stations in the parking lots of apartment buildings may not be enough to encourage the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. According to a survey conducted by Ifop for Logivvolt and published on October 6, 88% of people who are ready to switch to electric vehicles would be convinced if they had access to a charging point that is "easily accessible, close to their residence, available, and offered at an attractive price." Even 41% of those who are not yet committed to electric cars would consider switching under similar conditions. Despite growing interest in electric vehicles, preconceived notions about them still influence public opinion. Only 58% of apartment dwellers surveyed say they have a "good image" of 100% electric cars, compared to 74% for hybrid rechargeable vehicles. While the availability of a convenient, inexpensive charging point is a key concern, the purchase price of the vehicle remains the main obstacle cited by 58% of respondents. Other concerns include the lack of autonomy (42%) and doubts about battery life (36%). Issues related to charging, such as long charging times (34%), the absence of home charging solutions (33%), and the impracticality of public charging stations (30%) are also frequently mentioned. In total, 67% of respondents cited at least one obstacle related to charging stations or charging duration, a figure that rises to 73% when including the cost of recharging. These concerns often reflect a general lack of knowledge about electric cars and their recharging requirements. For those already convinced by electric vehicles, the issue of charging is a major consideration early in the purchasing process. 53% of people who intend to buy an electric car consider the availability of charging before even deciding on a vehicle, and 40% take it into account when choosing a model. In other words, many people delay or abandon their plans due to uncertainty about where they will be able to charge their car daily. Currently, the preferred charging method for French apartment dwellers—whether they already have a charging station or are considering buying one—relies heavily on external infrastructure. 46% of respondents favor public charging stations located "near their home," 33% prefer public parking lots, and 30% opt for workplace charging. Charging points located in the apartment building's parking are only considered by 28% of respondents for individual charging stations and 26% for collective charging stations. The low rate of charging infrastructure in apartment buildings is not due to a lack of desire, at least for half of those surveyed. Among residents with unequipped parking spaces, 46% say they are interested in installing a charging station. This interest rises to 73% among those considering purchasing an electric vehicle. The main obstacles include installation costs (49%), agreement from the co-ownership (36%), and technical constraints (34%). More than four out of ten respondents mention a lack of information and perceived complexity in the process. Interestingly, the idea of a collective infrastructure installed in the building, to which each resident subscribes individually when needed, is appealing to 72% of respondents, and up to 89% among future buyers.
