Getting ahead of myself a touch, but does anyone know if there are any Electric Vehicle Charging Points in Val Thoren?

Plugshare is a good app for France. Shows one type 2 charger at the visitor centre in VT. By the time you've got back down to Moutiers you will have produced many kW in regen I suspect so won't need to get it full up in VT. We shall be taking our EV to Val D'Isere in March and don't plan to charge up in resort.

Thanks will take a look... reckon from Hamshire via eurotunnel looking at 3 charges on the way there, once plans get firmed up I'll look at likely target towns for charging

Apparently the Audi app pulls lots of different european providers together into one place, but I haven't got it yet so don't know if it includes 'status'...
I think my plan will be to have Plan A and Plan B stops, in "areas" that have relatively high numbers of chargers. Not likely to go until Jan'23 so hopefully les espaces will have them in (€s v convenience, obviously...)

@EarthWindandWater, When we get a full e car we will probably be mostly charging down the valley in Sallanches Carrefour (when not plugged in in the garage). The charging points in Chamonix seem to be very €€€ and usually occupied.

This is what I was expecting. Bresse, Annecy or Albertville seem to offer good options for "final push" charging. The normally on-point viamichelin.fr hasn't got EVCPs as a map layer... yet!!

Since Val Thorens requires all cars to be in underground carparks it should start installing chargers in them, slow ones would be fine.

There are quite a few free, and some others free with parking around Chamonix, they are not well know and not well signposted and I am not posting them on here either....but if you need them, ask

You know it makes sense.

I'll be sticking with my V10 for a little while longer, super unleaded is far easier to come by. I'll eventually have to sucumb kicking and screaming no doubt. lol

Drifting a bit geographically, the Austrian infrastructure looks good. There are many charging points in ski lift car parks, and the Kitzbuhel piste map is now marking them (though it's already out of date), and a fair amount of accommodation also has charging points for guests

Thanks @viv, my post was because we're planning a 'boys' trip next year to VT, but depending on how the family trip to Kuhtai goes this year, and how COVID affects crossing of borders, driving to AUT could be a more regular thing for us
