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 should ensure that recharging points for electric vehicles are built up with sufficient coverage, at least twice thn adequate number of vewhicles, and 10% of themh should be 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 appartment 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.
