ChargeUp Europe welcomes strong boost to electromobility in EU climate package

ChargeUp Europe, the industry association representing the electric vehicle (EV) charging sector, applauds the bold steps taken to deliver zero emissions in road transport in the European Commission’s “Fit for 55” package.

We welcome in particular the move to establish a new Regulation on Alternative Fuels Infrastructure to replace the existing Directive with binding targets comprehensive for cars and trucks under comprehensive national plans. Creating a truly harmonised EU market for emobility will allow EV drivers to travel with ease wherever they are Europe, remove barriers to the scale up of EV charging infrastructure and services in different Member States and provide a clear signal to investors in the sector.

ChargeUp Europe looks forward to analysing the proposals in more detail in the coming days and providing input to the work of the European Parliament and Member States to ensure the legislation is adopted as quickly as possible. There is not a moment to waste.
