The legislation is said to be part of the EU’s ‘Fit For 55’ program, which aims to reduce greenhouse gases by 55% by 2030.
According to reports, a new law in the European Union (EU) could help massively expand EV charging points along all major routes across the continent if implemented.
The new law proposes the installation of fast-charging stations at every 37 miles (60 km) intervals across Europe’s major transport routes. As per the proposal, the fast-charging stations should offer at least 150 kW EV chargers, should have a contactless payment option and not have the driver first register with any provider. The EU also wants providers to offer customers clear access to information like charging process and availability; among others.
The law demands larger 350 kW chargers for commercial vehicles – available at every 37 miles (60 km) on the core-trans European Transport network and at every 62 miles (100 km) on other roads by 2025. There is a provision for hydrogen vehicles as well, guaranteeing both cars and trucks access to hydrogen refuelling stations at every 200 km interval.
