Means of transport today represent a large part of global pollution . This is why it is necessary to act quickly to protect the planet and make our economy sustainable, in particular through green mobility. We will see here that there are already suppliers who have anticipated the trend with adapted offers.
What is green mobility?
The basic principle of green mobility is to move while limiting harmful effects on the environment . It is not necessarily a question of choosing 100% ecological means of transport, but above all of having an eco-responsible approach as often as possible. So, for example, it could be a matter of favoring public transport rather than a personal car, going to work by bike if the place is not too far from home or even using electric vehicles . Carpooling is also an increasingly developed trend thanks to numerous dedicated smartphone applications. The important thing is to always ask yourself whether a more ecological alternative might not be possible when traveling. In addition, it is also an easy way to save money.
Towards less polluting means of transport
In recent years, we have seen a rise in the popularity of electric vehicles , whether in France or around the world. Cars, scooters , bicycles or even scooters , it is today more and more common to see this type of electric vehicle on the road. This trend is therefore fully part of the framework of green mobility. Although today they are still quite polluting, particularly in terms of manufacturing and recharging batteries, these 2.0 means of transport represent a significant step forward towards the energy transition. The advantage is that we already know how to produce electricity from renewable sources such as the sun, water or wind. We can therefore hope that in a few years, most vehicles will be able to run on electricity and that the latter will be produced mainly using renewable energy sources.
Energy suppliers and their ecological offers
100% green energy offers
To adapt to the ecological trend and current environmental issues, a large number of suppliers now offer offers intended to support renewable energies . These are often called 100% green energy deals. This is not about consuming green energy at home, but rather about participating in the development of renewable energies in general. Indeed, the principle is that the money collected for each kWh of energy consumed via your subscription will then be put back into the production of renewable energy . It is therefore a good way to do something for the environment, especially since there are today many green electricity suppliers with very attractive offers.
Specialized offers in green mobility
In addition to supporting green energy production, some suppliers have also gotten ahead of their competitors by offering offers favorable to green mobility. The latter are intended to be more interesting for those who have an electric vehicle and who wish to recharge it at home . For this, the offers operate with a Peak Hours / Off-peak Hours system including rates even lower than normal during Off-peak Hours. Thus, the subscriber can recharge his electric vehicle during these periods and save money. Among them, we include EDF's Vert Électrique Auto formula as well as Engie's Elec'Car offer, both offering prices up to 50% lower during Off-Peak Hours .
How to subscribe to a green energy offer?
The subscription process with a supplier, whether for a green offer or a classic offer, is very simple. All you need to do is provide some information such as your meter number, your contact details, your postal address and a meter reading. You can do this by telephone or online according to your preferences. In the case of the offers dedicated to green mobility that we mentioned previously, you will also need to present proof that you are the owner of an electric vehicle. If you change supplier, be aware that the new one will take full responsibility for terminating your old contract for you. Energy contracts are non-binding and therefore can be canceled at any time without proof.
