Response to Creation of the Common European Mobility Data Space

18 Nov 2022

E-GAP welcomes the creation of a common European mobility data space and is confident that this will have a very positive impact in creating an open and competitive market for electric vehicle services that could enable and accelerate sustainable mobility and intermodality. Facilitate data access and re-use through the modal and cross-modal harmonisation of sharing conditions in a fair, transparent, proportionate and non-discriminatory manner will, in fact, enable remote access to more, better quality in-vehicle generated data, functions and resources. This will also enable new, more effective, efficient and uniform services for all types of vehicles. Moreover, a clear and solid European legal framework for vehicle-data accessing and sharing would enable fair competition in the provision of services in the EU single market, while ensuring compliance with the legislation on the protection of personal data. Indeed, EU rules should state which data are accessible to third parties, whether they can be accessed directly from the car or from a neutral external server (either case by-passing the OEM server). Most importantly, legislation should set an obligation for the manufacturers to produce the data third parties need for their services and make their collection possible. The Commission should consider both a minimum dataset the car manufacturer is obliged to produce and a common catalogue of data it should make available on commonly agreed conditions. Indeed, to deliver a high-quality service to users, recharging service providers have to access to vehicle data, including battery capacity, battery state-of-charge, charging ramp-rate and customer preferences. The equal access to functions ensure the same tools are available to all market participants, enabling them to provide users with competitive services (e.g. the possibility of authorizing the service provider remotely to unlock and open the flap), while addressing safety, security, data protection and privacy requirements concerns. Therefore, a set of guidelines on the deployment of third-party applications is a precondition for a safe and innovative technical and organisational sharing and interoperability environment for data access, use and sharing. These should be based on voluntary common recommendations/frameworks on data semantics, technical protocols, operational processes and governance structure. E-GAP also agrees with the Commissions approach in Chapter IV (Art. 13) of the Data Act (proposal for a Regulation on harmonised rules on fair access to and use of data - COM/2022/68) to stop unfairness of contractual terms in data sharing contracts between businesses, preventing imbalances in bargaining power between contractual parties. We sustain the legal provision setting out what unfair contractual terms are. This provides services with the same data quality as car makers and discourages the stronger party from taking advantage of their privileged position to determine access to and use of data from EVs. E-GAP was founded in 2017 to disrupt fossil fuel transportation, through the development, production and commercialisation of high value innovative products and services for electromobility, with the mission to help people, businesses, and cities contribute to a future where everyday transport is emission-free. Our vision meets the idea of a world where electricity plays a key role in the fight against climate change. So, since the beginning, we have tried to make electric mobility smoother, easier, and a common good to be promoted, by innovating the way it is used and managed. E-GAP project involves building an integrated and complementary urban platform that is the first fast mobile and semi-mobile charging business model providing certified renewable energy on-demand to electric vehicles. Through different off-grid, scalable and mobile solutions we are trying to deploy a complementary on-grid infrastructure that overcomes the limitations of traditional charging

Response to Type approval of motor vehicles regarding access to in-vehicle generated data

22 Jul 2022

To deliver a high-quality service to users, recharging service providers have to access electric vehicles (EVs) data, including battery capacity, battery state-of-charge, charging ramp-rate and customers preferences. The equal access rights to functions ensure the same tools are available to all market participants, enabling them to provide users with competitive services (e.g. the possibility of authorizing the service provider remotely to unlock and open the flap), while addressing safety, security, data protection and privacy requirements concerns. Therefore, a set of guidelines on the deployment of third-party application is the precondition for a safe and innovative environment. What should drive the upcoming legislative initiatives on access to in-vehicle data is a clear and solid European legal framework for vehicle-data sharing to enable fair competition in the provision of services in the EU single market, while ensuring compliance with the legislation on the protection of personal data. The EU rules should state which data are accessible to third parties, whether they can be accessed directly from the car or from a neutral external server (in either cases by-passing the OEM server). Most importantly, legislation should set an obligation for the manufactures to produce the data third parties need for their services and make their collection possible. The Commission should consider both a minimum dataset the car manufacturer is obliged to produce and a common catalogue of data it should make available on commonly agreed conditions. We agree with the Commission’s approach in Chapter IV (art. 13) to stop unfairness of contractual terms in data sharing contracts between businesses, preventing imbalances in bargaining power between contractual parties. We sustain the legal provision setting out what unfair contractual terms are. This provides services with the same data quality as car makers and discourages the stronger party from taking advantage of their privileged position to determine access to and use of data from EVs. E-GAP provides on-demand charging services for electric vehicles via app. Having access to the vehicle data of customers who want to request our service would allow us to carry out charging more effectively, efficiently and uniformly for all types of vehicles. E-GAP believes that the proposed measures could have a very positive impact in creating an open and competitive market for electric vehicle services that could enable and accelerate sustainable mobility.
