Motorway valets to recharge your electric vehicle
If you are planning to take the highway this fall with an electric vehicle, you have surely asked yourself some practical questions: in which areas should I stop? How long will it take to recharge my vehicle? With which payment method can I pay? Will I find a charging point available in all areas? Whether you are used to or new to electric vehicles, we are here to support you. In collaboration with IONITY, manager of ultra-fast charging stations, we offer a free valet parking service for electric vehicles called “Blue Vests”.

Easily identifiable thanks to their blue VINCI Autoroutes chasuble, their mission will consist, among other things, of: · Welcoming you at the charging points; Help you park safely when all terminals are occupied; · Manage the queue and keep you informed when a seat becomes available; · Assist in case of difficulty when using a terminal; And of course answer all your questions. VINCI Autoroutes reiterates the three essential rules to be observed at this time of year when night driving gets longer and weather conditions require greater vigilance.
