AFIR 2026: What Every CPO Needs to Know for Compliance
The Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) will take effect in 2026, setting minimum requirements for public EV charging across the EU. For Charge Point Operators (CPOs), compliance is not optional. With automation and compliance tools, CPOs can prepare for the shift today.
Key AFIR 2026 Requirements
Coverage: Highways must have charging stations every 60 km.
Payment: Contactless card payments required at all public chargers.
Transparency: Prices must be displayed per kWh before charging starts.
Data Access: CPOs must share open data via APIs for interoperability.
