Vinci cares for drivers using electric cars, which are becoming increasingly common on the roads.
As the summer holidays approach, Vinci Autoroutes is launching an Ulyss Electric pass to make paying for recharges easier. Included in a package also covering tolls, it grants access to all charging points across the country, regardless of the operator. According to a survey by Avere, there were just over 62,000 of them in May.
A new paid Vinci service
While the delivery of the pass is free, the service itself is not. For each recharge, a surcharge of 70 cents euros will be payable. The amount is deducted at the end of each month. The subscription can be canceled at any time.
Ulyss Electric operates with an app. This also allows users to locate charging stations, plan a route, and view key details of identified stations (power, type of socket, price, and availability).
The Ulyss Electric service also offers remote training dedicated to the use of electric vehicles. Its goal is “to support electric vehicle drivers from their first kilometers.” Structured around a network of 200 coaches located across the country, it lasts about thirty minutes.
Electric valets
Continuing to emphasize electric mobility, Vinci Autoroutes will install “electric valets” in certain highway rest areas in partnership with Ionity. Recognizable by their blue vests, their mission will be to assist drivers and help optimize their vehicle’s charging. However, this service will be limited to the most frequented areas (specifically Saint Rambert-d’Albon West, Montélimar East, Montélimar West, Morières on the A7, and Vidauban South on the A8). It will operate on Fridays and Saturdays from July 15 to August 15.
In parallel, Vinci will also test mobile stations in partnership with Green Corp Konnection. These setups will be located at Saint-Rambert d’Albon East (A7) and Trémentines (A87). They will be capable of delivering a 120 kW charge.
