Access to In-vehicle Data for EV Charging: Consumer and Grid Benefits

ChargeUp Europe strongly supports the upcoming Commission’s proposal on access to in-vehicle data. Significant benefits to both drivers and energy system will be unlocked as a result of fairer and better sharing of vehicle data with third parties. Effective legislation could ensure an improved experience for consumers, and at the same time enable value-added services to help balance the electricity grid and manage energy consumption.

ChargeUp Europe calls the European Commission to:

• Establish EU Regulation that creates a level playing field for access to in-vehicle data, improving consumer choice and experience by enabling CPOs and other third parties to offer high-quality charging services.

• Consider the devastating disadvantage of a lack of such level playing field to the EU consumers and the electricity grid, resulting in slower uptake of EVs and inefficient grid upgrades.
