Hey
My mum lives in Dieppe and we do that ferry run a lot. It’s a lovely small ferry great for getting to Normandy. I hate Calais and never go via it anymore.
I am still waiting for my ZS to arrive but I have checked and there are a few chargers in Dieppe.
Dieppe is also worth a day lovely restaurants and fresh caught sea food.
Hope this helps.
Totally agree about Dieppe, a lovely fishing town with superb restaurants and other attractions. It normally gets missed as you leave the ferry and drive away from the town up the hill.
I turn sharp right and follow that road round to the fishing port. Over the iron swing bridge and you are in proper France!
When I drive back from my retirement house in the Dordogne, I book a hotel and stay overnight before the 11am ferry the next day.
I worked out that the extra time driving to Folkestone/Dover from West Sussex and the drive back on the other side to Rouen, waas 15 mins longer than taking the 4 hour ferry from Newhaven, and judging by this year NO traffic jams anywhere near Newhaven!
As for chargers in Dieppe, there are some municipal ones as well as ones round the back of Auchan and of course two free ones in Lidl on the outskirts of Dieppe.
Beware the ChaDeMo loving French! The first time I took the I-Pace EDF had turned of all the motorway 50Kw CCS chargers because of a fire in two of them.
The amazing thing was I found a French parfum company outside of Orleans that ran electric vans and they let me charge the car. They would not accept any payment! Next stop was Chateauroux and LeClerc who have free 50Kw charging when the store is open. Total cost for that trip down, ZERO!
The trip back wasn't much more expensive as Ionity had the 'all you can eat' deal for £8! It bis 390 miles door to Dieppe so one charge did it for the I-Pace. Overnight at the hotel with free Lidl charging next door and I boarded the ferry with a full charge!
As a general rule, the French use Electric vehicles for local journeys, most EVs you see on the motorway are Teslas. That's the French, not the Dutch, who like us, use EVs for all their journeys, long and short.
It is changing albeit slowly. Total are opening charging stations as on the ring road around Chartres, but there is a long way to go.
