Parliament's position on a regulation on deploying alternative fuels infrastructure, replacing Directive 2014/94/EU. It sets binding national targets for charging and refuelling infrastructure and rules on user information, pricing and reporting. Member states must submit national policy frameworks with targets for electric vehicle charging points and hydrogen and LNG refuelling stations, and ensure sufficient coverage along TEN-T roads and in urban areas. Operators must provide transparent pricing, accept card payments and display information at refuelling and charging points. The Commission will monitor progress and may adopt delegated acts.

Key points

  1. Parliament adopts its first-reading position on the proposed regulation on alternative fuels infrastructure, which repeals Directive 2014/94/EU.
  2. Member states must ensure publicly accessible electric vehicle charging points with minimum power and number targets along TEN-T roads and in urban areas.
  3. Member states must ensure publicly accessible hydrogen refuelling stations along TEN-T core and comprehensive networks, and LNG refuelling points for heavy-duty vehicles.
  4. Operators of charging and refuelling points must provide transparent, easily comparable pricing information and accept card payments without registration.
  5. Member states must submit national policy frameworks outlining their plans and targets for deploying alternative fuels infrastructure.
  6. The Commission is empowered to adopt delegated acts to supplement the regulation on technical specifications and reporting.
  7. The Commission will review the regulation's implementation and report to Parliament and Council on progress.
  8. Parliament calls on the Commission to refer the matter back to it if it substantially amends its proposal.

Who is affected

  • Member states, which must set up national policy frameworks and ensure infrastructure targets are met.
  • Operators of charging and refuelling points, who must meet user information and payment requirements.
  • Users of alternative fuel vehicles, who gain rights to transparent pricing and easy payment.

Legal basis. Article 294(2) and Article 91 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union
