Bastien and Coralie stopped, this Saturday afternoon, in the area of ​​Morainvilliers Sud (Yvelines), on the A13 road. A couple of restaurateurs, accompanied by their two children, recharge the family car at the Engie terminal: a 100% electric Kia EV6 crossover. The third and final rest on the return road before they arrive at their home in the region of Le Havre (Seine-Maritime), after two weeks of rest they spent in the Ardeche. “In twenty-five minutes, it will be fully charged, it’s time for a quick lunch,” Bastien smiled.

The price to pay to use a charging station at a roadside rest area.
