Preparing Gas Stations for AFIR 2026: A Compliance Roadmap
By 2026, the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) will redefine public EV charging requirements across Europe. For Charge Point Operators (CPOs) managing gas stations, compliance will mean adapting to new payment, transparency, and data-sharing rules. Click&Plug’s white-label solutions and API modules provide the foundation for a seamless transition.
AFIR 2026 Requirements for Gas Stations
Payments: Contactless card acceptance at every public charger.
Price Transparency: kWh-based pricing displayed before charging begins.
Data Access: Real-time data sharing with open APIs.
Device Compatibility: Multiple hardware brands supported without vendor lock-in.
CPOs who act early will not only achieve compliance but also build trust with customers and investors. AFIR is not a challenge; it’s a business opportunity.
