Recital 6
(6) Fragmentation of the internal market through uncoordinated market introduction of alternative fuels should be avoided. Coordinated, growth-oriented policy frameworks of all Member States should therefore provide the long-term security required for private and public investment into vehicle and fuel technology, and infrastructure build-up. Member States should therefore establish national policy frameworks outlining their objectives, targets, and supporting actions on the market development of alternative fuels, including the necessary infrastructure to be put into place. Member States should cooperate with other neighbouring Member States on the regional or macro-regional level, through consultation or joint policy frameworks, in particular where continuity of alternative fuel infrastructure coverage across national borders or construction of new infrastructure in the proximity of national borders is required. A coordination of these national policy frameworks and their coherence at EU level should be ensured by the Commission, following a periodic evaluation thereof.

Coordinated policy frameworks of all Member States aimed at promoting alternative traction technologies should therefore provide the long-term security required for private and public investment into vehicle and fuel technology, and infrastructure build-up.

Recital 11
(11) Electricity is a clean fuel particularly attractive for deployment of electric vehicles and electric two-wheelers in urban agglomerations which can contribute to improving air quality and reducing noise. Member States shouldIt should therefore be ensured that recharging points for electric vehicles are built up with sufficient coverage, at least twice the number of vehicles, and 10% of them publicly accessible, focussing in particular on urban agglomerations. Private owners of electric vehicles depend to a large extent on access to recharging points in collective parking lots, such as in apartment blocks, office and business locations. Regulatory provisions should be set up by public authorities, assisting citizens by ensuring that the appropriate infrastructure with sufficient electric vehicle recharging points is provided by the site developers and managers.

Recital 15
(15) The Commission delivered in 2010 a Mandate (M468) to the European Standardisation Organisations (ESOs) in order to issue new standards or review the existing ones with the aim of ensuring thEurope-wide interoperability and connectivity between the electricity supply point and the charger of electric vehicles. CEN/CENELEC set up a Focus Group which published a report in October 2011. Whereas the report contains a number of recommendations, no consensus was found to select one standard interface. Therefore, further policy action is needed in order to provide a non- proprietary solution ensuring interoperability across the EU.

The EU should also ensure that common technical standards are established in the electric car market and work towards global harmonisation of technical standards for charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.
