From 15 November 2026, every Advenir grant application signed for charge points open to the public must include proof that the charge point data has been published on data.gouv. The expected proof is a filtered URL from the national IRVE database, a consolidated file that gathers the data published by each developer, installer or operator. This requirement applies to car parks open to customers or visitors, but excludes charge points reserved exclusively for a company's service vehicles within its own premises.
What changes on 15 November 2026
Advenir grant applications signed from 15 November 2026 for charge points open to the general public must provide proof that the data has been published on data.gouv. According to the Advenir programme, this proof takes the form of a URL from the consolidated file of electric vehicle charge points, known as the national IRVE database.
The URL cannot point to the whole database. It must include filters that identify the charge points of the subsidised project: the developer's name, the station address or the charge point identifier.
For applications signed before 15 November 2026, Advenir states that from that date URLs from the new national database are also accepted. The date that matters is the date the application is signed: if you sign from 15 November 2026 for charge points open to the public, plan for the filtered URL as soon as you put the application together.
Which charge points are concerned
Only grant applications for charge points open to the general public are concerned by this instruction.
This is the case for a hotel or restaurant that equips its car park for its customers, or a shop whose car park welcomes visitors.
The same article excludes three cases: points reserved for residents of a private residential building, points assigned exclusively to the service vehicles of a single entity within a site that depends on it, and points installed in a maintenance or repair workshop that is not accessible to the public. A charge point installed at an employee's home is not accessible to the public and is therefore not covered by this instruction.
How to get the filtered URL from the IRVE database
The filtered URL is obtained from the national charge point dataset published on data.gouv. This dataset is titled “Bases nationales des points de recharge pour véhicules électriques en France (IRVE)” and is still in beta.
It is produced by the Point d'accès national aux données de mobilité (the French national access point for mobility data). It brings together the files published by each developer, installer or operator, according to two national schemas:
The dataset page offers an “Explorer les données” (explore the data) option. To build a compliant link, the safest approach is to filter on a criterion specific to your site: the developer's name, the station address or the identifier of each charge point, as Advenir recommends.
The IRVE documentation of the national access point explains how to produce, check, publish and update the data. It includes a section dedicated to obtaining the Advenir grant. If you have difficulty creating the filtered link, Advenir refers you to the support of this national access point.
Reminder about the Advenir programme
The Advenir programme, created in 2016 and run by Avere-France, is a national funding scheme dedicated to developing charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. With a budget of €520 million, it aims to fund 240,000 new charge points by 2027. Since 2016, it has already helped fund nearly 45,000 private and public charge points.
The grant is aimed at individuals in multi-unit buildings, condominium managers, companies, local authorities and public bodies. It can cover up to 50% of the installation cost, with caps that vary by type of project. Detached houses are excluded from the programme, but may benefit from the tax credit for energy transition.
Obtaining the grant requires the involvement of a qualified IRVE installer accredited by Advenir. Applications are made through the mon.advenir.mobi platform. Once the grant offer is signed, it remains valid for 6 months, and payment is made within a maximum of 45 days after the application is validated.
In 2026, the programme works through budget envelopes and successive calls for projects, with mandatory prior validation before work begins. Since 1 April 2026, aid for condominiums has been increased for projects voted at a general meeting from that date. Current amounts provide, for example, 50% of the cost excl. VAT up to €1,000 for an individual solution in a condominium, 50% up to €1,660 excl. VAT for a shared solution, and 50% up to €12,500 excl. VAT for a collective infrastructure (up to 100 spaces, then €125 excl. VAT per additional space).
For companies, charge points intended for heavy goods vehicle fleets benefit from a rate of 50% with caps ranging from €2,200 to €15,000 excl. VAT depending on charging power. For infrastructures above 500 kVA, the programme also funds the necessary electrical equipment, with grants ranging from €100,000 to €960,000 excl. VAT depending on the connection power achieved. For public roads, the rate is 30% with caps ranging from €1,000 to €9,000 excl. VAT depending on power.
The expenses covered by the grant include the supply of the charge points and their connection to an existing electrical installation, including civil engineering costs between the charge point and the first electrical panel. Operating costs (maintenance, supervision), heavy electrical equipment (panels, transformers), major works (creating technical rooms) and service fees (studies, application management) are excluded. Some categories ended on 31 December 2025, notably the grants dedicated to automotive service professionals and short-term rental companies.
