Response to Data types for alternative fuels infrastructure
17 Dec 2024
AMPECO supports the introduction of the additional static and dynamic data types, which will amend Article 20(2) from AFIR as of 14 April 2025. The implementation of enhanced data for reporting purposes will strengthen the EV ecosystem by future-proving its capability for improved interoperability, more accurate reporting, and streamlined infrastructure development. However, Article 20(2), (c) from AFIR states that "The requirements laid down in point (c) shall not apply to publicly accessible recharging points that do not require payment for the recharging service". There is no such text in the draft Annex, which addresses the use cases defined in Art.20(2), (c). We invite the Commission to elaborate whether by replacing this article with the current draft Annex, that text would be abolished.

15 Feb 2024
As a leading EV charging management provider in Europe, we hereby provide a number of reasons for Member States to stimulate the increase of the share of EVs in the total autopark. This would lead to increased demand for renewable energy, which should accelerate investment in further RE energy capacity. Smart EV charging solutions: Use EV charging stations as tools to prioritize charging time for periods with a high share of renewable energy in the grid. This is normally enabled through the charge point softwares Smart Charging features (also called Dynamic Load Management) and it can lead to huge savings in the carbon footprint in the transportation sector. This will also increase the demand for renewable energy, especially solar energy during periods of normally low demand. Additionally, excess from solar PV at home can be directly integrated into the EV charging process. Energy Attribute Certificates in EV charging: EV charging stations and related driver apps can offer drivers to purchase EACs (e.g. Guarantees of Origin) to make their charge session covered by 100% renewable energy. Such consumer options should also boost the demand for renewable energy. Member states can provide mechanisms to enable easier ways to create, access and cancel EACs. RES credit trends: Charging of EVs as a credit-generating mechanism supporting the reduction of the transportation sectors overall carbon footprint is already taking shape in several European countries: Germany, Austria, the Netherlands and France. The so-called RES-E credits already exist in the mentioned countries and can be used by public charging station operators. Best practices: We are attaching a document with best practices and several case studies to demonstrate further our argumentation. In conclusion... The initiatives undertaken by AMPECO align closely with the objectives outlined in the REDIII, which seeks to promote the use of renewable energy sources and enhance energy efficiency across the European Union. By integrating renewable energy into EV charging infrastructure, leveraging bidirectional energy flow technologies, and implementing dynamic pricing models, these collaborations exemplify a proactive approach towards achieving the renewable energy targets set forth by the Directive. Through these efforts, stakeholders are not only contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions but also driving the transition towards a more sustainable and environmentally responsible energy ecosystem in line with the goals of the Renewables Energy Directive.
