EU Introduces AFIR Compliance Deadlines for Charging Operators
The European Union has officially set compliance deadlines under the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR). Operators across all member states must ensure payment transparency, roaming compatibility, and standardised charging data exchange by 2026.
Key AFIR Requirements
Open Payments: Drivers must be able to pay with cards, not just apps.
Roaming Access: Networks must interconnect to support cross-border mobility.
Data Reporting: Operators must provide real-time charging status to national databases.
Impact on Operators
Non-compliance may result in penalties and market restrictions. However, aligning early with AFIR offers advantages in attracting partnerships and gaining customer trust.
