Response to Evaluation of the Measuring Instruments Directive

9 Oct 2025

As the EU Commission rightfully recognized that the 2014 MID was unfit for keeping up with the technological progress that occurred since 2014 and thus, we welcomed the proposal of the targeted amendment (COM(2024) 561 final) targeted technical amendment of the Measuring Instruments Directive 2014/32/EU (the MID). Proposing to cover measuring instruments for electric vehicle supply equipment. We are happy with the targeted amendments proposed once adopted (if adopted in the form proposed by the COM with some adjustments) and don't have further comments on how the MID should be reviewed more than that. Basically, we are satisfied with the changes already proposed (if adopted). We communicated our views on the proposal (see attachment). The targeted amendments to the MID are vital to ensure EV chargers use harmonised, accurate, and verifiable meters across Europe. They would close todays legal gap, replacing fragmented national rules with a single EU standard for metering in charging. This change will cut compliance costs, boost trust in billing, and speed up infrastructure rollout. Adoption is key to a fair, transparent, and efficient EV charging market. It is therefore important that the targeted amendment should be adopted without delay and deviations derived from national regulations concerning measuring instruments. National deviations lead to fragmentation and subsequently to unnecessary rising costs to the detriment of consumers. This also risks of slowing down the roll-out of EV charging infrastructure. If consistently and uniformly implemented by EU member states, the targeted amendments of the MID Directive would harmonize requirements for metering instruments of EV charging stations across the EU, ending fragmentation due to differing national rules and requirements, strengthening the Single Market, and avoiding unnecessary costs for manufacturers and consumers. What matters most for our sector is not whether the MID is reviewed again, but that this targeted amendment effectively delivers harmonisation in practice. When adopted, Member States must ensure swift and consistent implementation, as national deviations would undermine the very purpose of the amendment and perpetuate market barriers.

Response to Evaluation of the Regulation 2019/515 on the Mutual Recognition of Goods

15 Jan 2024

ChargeUp Europe welcomes the evaluation of the Mutual Recognition Regulation (MRR). Given the scope and developments of recent years, it is essential that the Regulation caters to all industries, particularly pan-European ones. Situation today Electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure operators are, in most cases, operating in multiple countries and have to comply with a myriad of national technical standards to be able to deploy their infrastructure in all of those countries. Such administrative burdens are slowing down the deployment of EV charging infrastructure across the EU, in turn, delaying the achievement of the EUs climate objectives and weakening one of the most unique and robust aspects of the EU the single market. Examples of national deviations from European harmonisation legislation The MRR, as it stands today, does not cater for the cases where there is a divergence of interpretation regarding the scope of the EUs harmonisation legislation. One of the most prominent examples in the EV charging domain is the Measurement Instrument Directive (2014/32/EU) (MID). While this legislation lays down some base requirements for the measurement instruments, Member States have taken a liberal interpretation. Some Member States believe that meters in the direct-current (DC or fast) charging stations fall under MID. In contrast, others exclude it from the scope, which causes confusion and additional administrative burden for the operators. However, and most importantly, Member States go beyond the scope of a harmonising Directive such as Germany, which has imposed re-calibration requirements with any maintenance performed on a charging station, or France, which has additional design requirements, obliging the manufacturers to adapt the product specifically for the French market, while the product is already in operation in other EU Member States. These are just a few examples of burdensome national technical standards based on which charging stations certified for deployment in one Member State are not allowed to be deployed in another and defy the principle of mutual recognition. Next steps In evaluating the Regulation, ChargeUp Europe urges the Commission to consider that, to this day, the scope of products falling under the mutual recognition principle is still disputed and that fragmentation of the single market is still very much a reality. European instruments should ensure coherent and consistent implementation across all Member States, thereby preventing the single market principle from being undermined by national deviations which go beyond the scope of European harmonisation legislation.

Response to Payment services – revision of EU rules (Directive)

31 Oct 2023

ChargeUp Europe welcomes the revision of the Payments Services Directive (PSD3) and the proposal for a Payment Services Regulation (PSR). While the proposal is a step in the right direction, and will undoubtedly help to encompass an expanding variety of available payment instruments and circumstances, it, however, missed the chance to enable seamless electric vehicle (EV) charging. In light of the rapid development and growth of industries, such as e-mobility and EV charging, the PSR should recognize the different payment transaction amounts for certain services and to take into account the new technologies and payment services that have become widely available in recent years, and allow to expand the payment options available to consumers. Amounts to be paid for EV charging, whether slow or fast, are usually quite low. In fact, our members report that amounts above 35 euros are exceptional. The recently adopted Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) recognises the unique use case of ad hoc charging by mandating only payment card readers with contactless functionality when paying at recharging points with an output of 50 kW or more. By permitting de-facto contactless payment methods, EV drivers can reliably pay for charging sessions through NFC (tap and pay) technology. This also allows for the industry to accelerate the roll out of infrastructure to meet both the AFIR targets, and subsequently meet the EU climate ambitions. In order to ensure legal coherence and to maintain seamless and reliable EV ad-hoc charging for current and future drivers, the PSR must be aligned with the AFIR provisions. Failing to do so could lead to an increase in hardware and software costs for EV charging manufacturers by requiring physical PIN pads to be installed on recharging points. In addition, a PIN pad does not offer any significant advantages for the user. For the vast majority of contactless payment transactions during normal charging, no PIN entry is necessary at all, since the invoice amounts are below the threshold of 50 euros (as per the 'strong customer authentication' (SCA) requirements). According to the Initiative Deutsche Zahlungssysteme, only one percent of payment transactions fail due to a lack of PIN entry options. Given the setting in which public EV charging typically happens (on a street, or in a public parking garage - i.e. most often in non-staffed locations), and the low amounts to be paid for the EV charging sessions, it meets the same criteria as parking and public transport in terms of payment services requirements. As both of these categories have been exempted from the SCA in the PSD2, EV charging sessions should receive the same treatment and therefore be exempted in the PSR. Furthermore, as both the EV charging infrastructure sector and the payment technologies and payment security solutions continue to evolve and mature, we must avoid being locked into one type of payment technology nor hamper innovation in the payments domain. Innovations in the industry are leading to new and more secure solutions such as biometrics, facial recognition, or finger scan for payment authorisations. These new secure solutions also reduce the exposure to payment fraud and identity theft and could provide a higher protection against cases of fraud or identity theft. PSD3 & PSR should acknowledge this. Taking above into account, we call on the European Commission to mandate the European Banking Authority (EBA) to initiate the review of the Regulatory Technical Standards on the Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) and recognise the unique use case of ad-hoc EV charging and extend the existing exemption for parking stations to EV recharging points.

Response to Evaluation of Standardisation Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012

27 Sept 2023

Various industries in Europe are evolving at a rapid pace. Electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure industry is one of them. In every rapidly growing industry, standardization is one of the key catalysts for ensuring a smooth and fluid customer experience, and ensuring global competitiveness. With the already existing and envisioned lack of workforce in Europe, putting standards for hardware and software in place can help streamline the production chains, allowing producers to focus on innovation. EV charging infrastructure producers report that they spend, in some cases, 50% of the product design and production time on adapting their charging stations to different EU markets, due to differing national standards. This should not be the case in a single European market which supports innovation and competitiveness, especially in the mobility domain, with the goal to establish a pan-European network on infrastructure, allowing drivers to move effortlessly across the EU. Today, the standardization process is too slow, especially for rapidly growing industries. The innovation is so fast paced that in the time that that the lack of standardization is investigated by authorities and a standard is established, the market offers a new set of products, continuing to use up resources. Additionally, due to a variety of technical solutions and lack of common standards, products of varying quality are put on the market. Slow process also means that Europe is not able to keep up with the global developments and remain at the forefront, when it comes to establishing globally relevant standards. Establishing a comprehensive standardization system would allow Europe to successfully compete with other major markets in setting industry standards, in this way bringing more production and innovation to Europe. The Regulation should ensure that the national standard verification process rigidly assesses the impact of those national standards on the internal market. In case of EV charging infrastructure, unreasonably stringent national standards obstruct the internal market and hinder the global competitiveness of European companies. Every willing player, regardless of size, should be given the opportunity to actively contribute in drafting the standards and evaluate their effectiveness/overall value. Young and rapidly innovating sectors, such as the EV charging infrastructure sector, are consumer-oriented, therefore, the standards established for products and equipment in these sectors should continue supporting the consumer-centred view. Only effective and not overly burdensome standards can help innovative sectors to scale at a pace needed to continue ensuring Europes competitive edge on a global stage. Europe is moving towards a green economy, which was not explicitly the case in 2012 when the Regulation first entered into force. Standardization policies and frameworks should support that. In drafting the annual Union work programme for European standardization, the Commission should hold extensive consultations with the sectors which are envisioned as the driving forces behind the green and digital transition. As these are the sectors where the innovation is booming, and most new technologies are invented and brought to the market, standardizing on a European level from the beginning will allow a more structured and regulated way of developing while also giving legal certainty and allowing companies to scale and invest resources where it ensures the highest return for the consumers and economy. The Regulation should ensure that a formal process is in place to consult these sectors in drafting the annual work programme.

Response to Revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive 2010/31/EU

30 Mar 2022

ChargeUp Europe is the voice of the electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure industry. ChargeUp Europe has been formed to accelerate the switch to zero emission mobility and ensure a seamless driver experience with access to high quality, readily available charging infrastructure across Europe.  We welcome the European Commission’s forward-looking proposal for the revision of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). Widespread and easy EV charging options will be critical to drive the uptake of electric mobility. The Commission’s EPBD proposal therefore comes at a critical time to accelerate Europe’s shift towards e-mobility. At the same time, EVs and charging infrastructure can play a critical role in making buildings more energy efficient, managing grid capacity through smart charging and contribute to the EU’s Green Deal objectives. The Commission’s proposal rightly recognizes the key role of EV charging in decarbonizing the EU building stock and paves the way to ensure the uptake of e-mobility across the European continent. The Commission’s proposal contains many positive, forward-looking provisions and we very much welcome the inclusion of ambitious EV charging infrastructure targets, the emphasis on smart charging, and the proposed requirements on consumer empowerment to make the installation of EV charging infrastructure in private locations easier and more accessible. While we welcome the EPBD proposal, there are some key aspects that require further attention to ensure that the complementary benefits from integrating buildings and transport are fully utilized. In the attached document we outline key aspects of the proposal which require more attention.

Response to Revision of Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Directive

4 May 2020

ChargeUp Europe welcomes the opportunity to provide input into the IIA of the Directive on the Deployment of Alternative Fuels Infrastructure. Priority: Instrument Replace Directive with Regulation. Replacing the Directive with a Regulation will deliver an accelerated rollout of harmonised infrastructure, enlarged in scope for all types of EV charging across the EU. Priority: Scope Focus only on zero emission fuels & examine use cases for different fuel types. The Directive should prioritise only those options with the greatest potential to decarbonise the road transport sector. The IA should analyse use-cases of different alternative fuels for different sectors and in this regard, electrification is the best option for reducing emissions across road transport. Public & private charging. The scope of the legislation should be widened to harmonise technical requirements and ensure an ambitious increase for public charging, private charging accessible to the public and private charging not accessible to the public. The IA should assess further defining “publicly accessible” and the inclusion of private charging in the Directive’s scope. Priority: Charging Network Coverage & targets Ambitious smart targets. The legislation should enable smart and targeted minimum coverage across the EU. Binding targets for Member States should be set and further weighted, factoring in aspects such as existing national needs and regional traffic & housing characteristics. The IA should examine regulatory barriers in national housing laws and practices that discourage EV adoption and look at best practices on EV charging and the ‘right to plug’. Heavy duty vehicles (HDV).The IA should address the requirements of electric HDVs (incl. vans & trucks) as their recharging requirements differ from light passenger vehicles. Appropriate coverage for HDVs across the EU road network and urban areas is key and synergies between the transport and energy sectors need to be promoted e.g. revision of TEN-T should be linked to TEN-E. The current Directive has been successful in harmonising the plug standard for cars and a revision should aim to deliver the same for HDVs. Priority: Interoperability, communication protocols & consumer information Open & interoperable. The IA should address any fragmentation or proprietary arrangements regarding standards, communication protocols and product design. Adoption of open, non-discriminatory and uniform communication protocols (e.g. OCPP and OCPI) and related standards are fundamental for the development of the EV market. Consumer-centric. The legislation should ensure there is 1. quality data for consumers irrespective of their networks and charging locations 2. interoperability and choice for authentication and payment systems and 3. price transparency in networks and via roaming to optimize driver experience. Priority: Smart Charging Increased focus & clear definition. The IA should assess the need to provide a clear definition of smart charging (e.g. V2X) and what this means in terms of functionality to ensure that new charging infrastructure is future-proof and ‘smart’. It should evaluate the potential of the normal charging segment to deliver consumer, environmental & societal energy system benefits. The legislation should also address the question of battery data access in order to deliver the benefits of smart charging. Priority: Market access, transparency & governance Market access. The IA should assess what market barriers exist for charging infrastructure players. It should clarify the role for Distribution System Operators (DSOs) in the marketplace, which should be limited to addressing specific market gaps, e.g. similar to the procedures outlined in the Electricity Market Design Directive (EU) 2019/944. Transparency & governance. The IA should examine how DSO processes can be adapted to speed up time to connection, permit procedures and provision of information to charging infrastructure businesses.
