The autonomy of cars increases thanks to progress electric
The electric car is constantly developing in the market. In France in 2017, 24,904 electric cars were sold. In 2018, more than 27,000 cars found buyers. These figures have been increasing for 4 years but they still need to be compared with the total number of cars sold! This represents only 1% of all cars sold in France. The transition is complicated, buyers have a lot of assumptions. The low range of electric cars is often put forward by those who are resistant to electric.
But while the range of electric cars was a problem in the early days of electric cars in the automotive market, the progress made is not to be overlooked. Year after year, the range of electric cars increases and the charging time decreases. A good illustration of this progress is the Renault Zoé. The Zoé is the best-selling electric car in France. It was first marketed in 2013. Prior to 2017 Zoe's actual range, i.e. the number of kilometers that can be traveled when fully charged, was between 100 and 150 km. But since 2017, this autonomy is now between 260 and 320 km. This average increase of 165 km is promising for the future of the electric vehicle. The example of the Zoé is representative of the progress made on electric cars in order to make their use less restrictive.
This allows therefore buyers and users to travel greater distances. In addition, the number of charging stations in public places continues to increase in France. In 2016, there were already 15,000. The energy transition law provides for more than 7 million in 2030. Charging your electric car in public places should soon no longer be a problem!
Comparison range of the best-selling electric cars in France (by category)
Many models exist today with varying prices. The range of these cars also varies, but not always in line with the price. It is interesting to compare three models of electric cars according to their price and their autonomy: the Citroën C-Zéro, the Renault Zoé and the Tesla Model S.

Buying a used electric car
The weak point of the electric car is also its high price. This is why the used car alternative is even more attractive in this case. The attractive price of used electric cars combined with the savings on fuel and state aid make buying an electric car very attractive economically.
