Orléans Métropole moves 33 public charge points to Electromaps on 9 November, with a €25 flat fee after two hours
According to an announcement published by Orléans Métropole on 29 October, the public charging network across 22 communes will change operator to Electromaps on Monday 9 November, covering 33 charge points. The announced tariff is €0.50 per kWh including VAT, plus a €25 flat fee once a session passes two hours, so cost now depends on time plugged in as well as energy drawn. Access is by QR code, and the details are the authority's announced terms rather than behaviour yet observed on the chargers.
Why it matters
A session time penalty written into a municipal network handover shows local authorities using pricing to push turnover on public chargers, which is a design factor for any CPO bidding on or operating similar concessions. Operators and fleets relying on these sites should check dwell times and access methods before the switch.
