Different charger sockets in France?

[Dannyt]

Hi,
I am travelling to France this month and was wondering about the charger formats there, more specifically Type 2 chargers.
It seems that charging points in France use a modified variant of the Type 2, called Type 2S.
Does anyone know if French charging plugs are compatible with standard Type 2 EV ports or maybe if I need an adapter cable or something?

In a nutshell, yes, they are compatible, it's a European standard. ABRP is a great app as it will show you the type and state of the chargers too.

As an aside, this week Tesla opened up some (not all) of their superchargers in France to non-Tesla vehicles - useful to know if you get stuck.

I think Tesla have opened up some chargers in France (and other countries) to non Tesla owners who live in the country. On the face of it Brits passing through can't use the chargers.

Yes they can. There are two options, membership at €12,99/month and 35 cents per kWh.
If you chose not to use the subscription (most likely) then the kWh is approx. 50% above Tesla rates.
The following is in French and gives all the details, Google will translate it you need to.

Ce n'était qu'une question de temps, mais le programme pilote jusqu'alors réservé aux Pays-Bas s'étend en France. Quelques sites sont concernés, avec des tarifs différents des propriétaires de Tesla. Voyons ensemble les détails de cette ouverture des Superchargeurs aux autres marques.
