The regional association Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Mobilité Électrique was officially founded on March 14, 2009. Part of the Avere-France network, it currently has 50 members. Its mission is to educate and guide institutional and economic players in the energy transition in the transport sector, now necessary to combat global warming. The association brings together this new ecosystem of electric mobility, in the industrial, commercial, institutional or associative fields, in order to encourage exchanges between its members and generate new projects.

With this in mind, major groups such as Ikea, Castorama, Leclerc and Renault are equipping their sites locally, as are a number of Burgundy hotels and restaurants.
By massively supporting the electrification of mobility, France is opting for a green revival of the automotive sector. This ambition is built around actions to :

Boost demand with support schemes for vehiclepurchase and recharging,

Significantly strengthen the automotive industry, which has been hard hit by the crisis at a time when it needs to embark on a genuine revolution: that of the electric vehicle and the autonomous vehicle. According to the Avere France barometer, registrations of electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles (passenger cars and commercial vehicles) were very prolific in 2023 in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, with 10,146 100% electric vehicles sold, compared with 5,600 in 2021, while sales of plug-in hybrid vehicles rose from 412 in 2021 to over 4,600 in 2023.

In 2019, these vehicles accounted for just 2.5% to 3% of sales in France. By 2023, electric vehicles will account for more than 25% of the private car fleet, or one car in four.

Reduced cost. Still slightly more expensive to buy, electric vehicles benefit from a purchase premium, lower recharging costs and reduced maintenance costs.

Easier charging on freeways. Since January¹, 2023, the 450 service stations in France located on toll freeways must offer a recharging station with several charging points available.

BFCME's missions:

Promote the acquisition and use of electric, hybrid and hydrogen-poweredvehicles through education. Many French people are thinking of going electric one day, but taking the plunge isn't that easy. How do you install a charging station in your garage? What is the range of batteries? How long will they last? The association's role is to share information, knowledge and experience, to provide decision-makers with the elements they need to define and implement the best solutions for electric mobility.

Federate the electric mobility sector in Burgundy-Franche-Comté, motivated by sustainable mobility solutions involving electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids and hydrogen-powered vehicles.

Promote electric mobility : by organizing conferences, vehicle presentations and events under the BFCME banner, and by participating in events organized by its members, Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Mobilité Électrique stimulates and supports the deployment of electric mobility among local authorities and businesses.

Training professionals: To help real estate professionals (elected officials and local authority staff, property managers, real estate agencies, social landlords, condominium association councils and homeowners) set up the infrastructure required for electric mobility, the BFCME association offers free two-hour training courses (subject to the presence of at least 10 people), either face-to-face or via distance learning, throughout the region, to guide homeowners through the process. In 2023, 90 such courses were held.
