Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) and its impact on the e-mobility sector

The recent Infrastructure for Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) in Europe, which was formally approved at the end of July 2023, is poised to have a substantial impact on the e-mobility sector. The Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) is part of the Fit for 55 package. This comprehensive regulatory framework, designed to support the expansion of alternative fuel infrastructure, particularly electric vehicle (EV) charging networks, will influence various facets of the e-mobility sector and more specifically:Accelerated Expansion of Charging Infrastructure: AFIR sets clear deployment targets for charging infrastructure along key transport corridors and networks. This increased confidence can drive consumer adoption of electric vehicles, contributing to the growth of the e-mobility sector. In conclusion, the AFIR European Regulation is set to have a transformative impact on the e-mobility sector.
