Consumers and Climate – How can AFIR deliver for EV Charging?
ChargeUp Europe is inviting you to a webinar on 18 November from 11:00 to 12:30 (CET) to discuss how the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) can deliver EV charging infrastructure across the EU in a way that works for consumers and unlocks the climate and environmental benefits of E-mobility.
Europe has made a clear commitment towards carbon-neutrality by 2050 and to achieve at least 55% emission’s reduction by 2030. But getting there will require an ambitious policy for zero-emission transport that harnesses the full potential of electromobility.
The revision of the alternative fuels infrastructure rules will play a critical role in this regard and will set the framework for deploying EV charging infrastructure in Europe.
Our event will bring together experts from different sectors to discuss the key opportunities and challenges of the upcoming EU legislation on EV charging infrastructure.
