Recital 4 a (new)
(4 a) In order to ensure a coherent legislative framework for the use and deployment of alternative fuels this Regulation should be aligned with the ReFuelEU aviation FuelEU Maritime, the revision of CO2 emission performance for new passenger cars and light duty vehicles Regulation, the CO2 emission performance for heavy duty vehicles Regulation and its upcoming revisions, and the revision of Directive 2003/96/EC (Energy Taxation Directive).

Recital 9
Recital 9
(9) The deployment of publicly accessible recharging infrastructure for light-duty electric vehicles has been uneven across the Union and across regions. Continued uneven distribution would jeopardize the uptake of such vehicles, limiting connectivity across the Union. Continuing divergence in policy ambitions and approaches at national level will not create the long-term certainty needed for substantive market investment. Mandatory minimum targets for Member States at national level should therefore provide policy orientations and complement National Policy Frameworks. That approach should combine national fleet based targets with distance-based targets for the trans-European network for transport (TEN-T). National fleet based targets should ensure that vehicle uptake in each Member State is matched with the deployment of sufficient publicly accessible recharging infrastructure while allowing for the market to self regulate once a certain penetration of electric vehicles has been reached. Distance-based targets for the TEN-T network should ensure full coverage of electric recharging points along the Union’s main road networks and thereby ensure easy and seamless travel throughout the Union. This targets shall be complemented with additional recharging infrastructure across all regions to ensure an even deployment across all territory, including in depopulated or sparseley populated areas.

(9 a) While recognizing the importance of private investment and a market driven deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure, public investment and further state aid rules flexibility is encouraged to guarantee an even distribution across all regions, especially in sparseley populated and depopulated areas
