A simple note to answer a concrete question
The Bornage Recharge Score is a tool designed to help electric vehicle drivers quickly assess a French city before a trip.
Its objective lies in one question: can we reach this destination and stay there with a sufficiently reassuring level of recharge?
Rather than displaying a multitude of information that is sometimes difficult to interpret, the Bornage Recharge Score summarizes it in a score out of 10.
This note is supplemented by clear wording, highlights, the number of stations and charging points available, an estimate of the average cost of charging as well as the main stations located nearby.
How is the Bornage Recharge Score calculated?
Each destination is analyzed using several indicators to assess the overall quality of its charging infrastructure.
The Charging Station Score is not based solely on the number of stations available. It also takes into account fast charging, local coverage, the estimated average cost and the network's capacity to support real usage.
A simple note to answer a concrete question: can I go electric with peace of mind?
A global assessment, not a simple count
Two destinations can have a similar number of charging stations, while providing a very different experience for electric vehicle drivers.
This is why the score takes into account several dimensions of the charging infrastructure in order to offer a more representative assessment of the reality on the ground.
The objective is not only to measure the quantity of infrastructure available, but to assess their ability to meet the needs of drivers on a daily basis and during their travels.
The same principle applied to long journeys
The Bornage Recharge Score is not limited to the analysis of a city. Its Journey mode also allows you to evaluate a route between a starting point and a destination.
The analysis takes into account the charging infrastructures present on the route in order to identify the portions which require more anticipation and to highlight the main stations useful for the journey.
The result is presented in the form of an overall score, accompanied by indicators allowing a better understanding of the characteristics of the journey.
A decision-making tool, not an absolute promise
Charging infrastructure is constantly evolving. A charging station may be busy, temporarily unavailable or offer a price different from that observed during the last update.
The Bornage Recharge Score must therefore be understood as an overall assessment of the quality of a destination or a journey, and not as a guarantee of infrastructure availability.
To travel with peace of mind, it is still recommended to check the stations before departure, to maintain a margin of range and to provide an alternative solution for important stages.

How to read the note?
A reassuring destination has well-represented charging and requires little anticipation for the majority of trips.
An acceptable destination offers decent infrastructure, but certain sectors or routes may require additional preparation.
A destination to be monitored has a more limited infrastructure: it is therefore recommended to provide a margin of range and alternative solutions.
