Critical Step for Charging Stations
The European Council announced that an agreement has been reached between the member states and the European Parliament (EP) on a regulation that will accelerate the installation of alternative fuel infrastructure to reduce the carbon footprint of the transport sector. Regardless of the EU Council vehicle type, it will be ensured that all land and sea vehicles have sufficient infrastructure for alternative refueling.
According to the statement, more charging and filling stations for alternative fuel vehicles will be established across Europe in the coming years. European Union (EU) institutions have agreed to install more charging stations for electric cars.
Solutions will be developed so that the engines of the ships at the ports and the engines of the planes at the airports do not need to be kept running. Alternative fuel-filling systems will be ensured to work harmoniously across the EU. For electric cars, a charging station will be installed every sixty kilometers from the main roads by 2026.
Mandatory targets will be set for countries on the deployment of automobile and truck infrastructure for alternative fuels. By 2026, charging stations with an output of 400 kilowatt-hours (kWh) for electric cars will need to be commissioned every 60 kilometers. The power output at these charging stations will need to increase to 600 kilowatt-hours by 2028. By 2028, there will be an electric charging station for trucks and buses every 120 kilometers. The output power of these stations will be between 1,400 kWh and 2,800 kWh.
In addition, hydrogen refueling stations will be installed at least every 200 kilometers until 2031.
