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 5
(5) Therefore all modes of transport should be addressed in one instrument which should take into account a variety of alternative fuels. The use of zero-emission powertrain technologies is at different stages of maturity in the different modes of transport. In particular, in the road sector, a rapid uptake of battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles is taking place and therefore requiring higher targets for this mature technology. Hydrogen fuel-cell road vehicles are available to markets, as well. In addition, smaller hydrogen and battery electric vessels and hydrogen fuel- cell trains are currently being deployed in different projects and in first commercial operations, with full commercial roll out expected in the next years. In contrast, the aviation and waterborne sectors continue to be dependent on liquid and gaseous fuels, as zero- and low-emission powertrain solutions are expected to enter the market only around 2030 and in particular for the aviation sector even later, with full commercialisation taking its time, therefore encouraging a technologically neutral approach to encourage maturity of developing technologies. The use of fossil gaseous or liquid fuels is only possible if it is clearly embedded into a clear decarbonisation pathway that is in line with the long-term objective of climate neutrality in the Union, is endorsed by a Cost-Benefit Analysis (CAB) and ensures it is the Best Alternative Technology (BAT), requiring increasing blending with or replacement by renewable fuels such as bio-methane, advanced biofuels or renewable and low- carbon synthetic gaseous and liquid fuels as soon as possible.

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.

Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) Implementation in Member States should ensure that a sufficient number of publicly accessible recharging points is installed, in particular at public transport stations, such as port passenger terminals, airports or railway stations. A sufficient number of publicly accessible fast recharging points dedicated to light-duty vehicles should also be deployed to increase consumer convenience in particular across the TEN-T network to ensure full cross-border connectivity and allow electric vehicles to circulate throughout the Union. The deployment of publicly accessible recharging infrastructure should primarily be the result of private market investment; however, in compliance with State aid rules, Member States should support the deployment of the necessary infrastructure in cases where market conditions require public support until a fully competitive market is established.

Recital 21 a (new)
(21 a) The possibility of bidirectional charging at both private and publicly accessible infrastructure can be an incentive to encourage people to purchase electric vehicles, as they can then be used for mobility as well as energy storage. Therefore, incentives are encouraged to ensure a sufficient number of private and publicly accessible charging stations that allow for smart, bidirectional charging (V2G).

Recital 24
Recital 24
(24) Price transparency is crucial to ensure seamless and easy recharging and refuelling. Users of alternative fuel vehicles should be given accurate price information before the start of the recharging or refuelling service. The price should be communicated in a clearly structured manner to allow end users to identify the differentall applicable cost components.

Recital 32 a (new)
(32 a) Given the cost and complexity associated with the roll-out of shore-side electricity in maritime ports, it is essential to prioritise the investments, particularly where it makes the most sense in terms of geographic location, emissions reduction and economic viability taking into account frequency of use, regularity of calls and availability of grid capacity;

Recital 33
(33) Container ships, especially larger container vessels exceeding 366 meters, and passenger ships, being the ship categories which are producing the highest amount of emissions per ship at berth, should as a priority be provided with shore- side electricity supply. In order to take into account power demand characteristics while at berth of different passenger ships, as well as port operational characteristics, it is necessary to distinguish between the passenger ship requirements for ro-ro passenger ships and high speed passenger vessels, and those for othershore-side electricity (SSE) requirements for cruise ships and those for the other passenger ships, namely ferries, ro-ro passenger ships and high speed passenger shipvessels.
Amendment 257 #

(34) These targets should take into account the types of vessels served and their respective traffic volumes. Maritime ports with low traffic volumes of certain ship categories, should be exempted from the mandatory requirements for the corresponding ship categories based on a minimum level of traffic volume, so as to avoid underused capacity being installed. Similarly, the mandatory targets should not aim to target maximum demand, but a sufficiently high volume, in order to avoid underused capacity and to take account of port operational characteristics. Maritime transport is an important link for the cohesion and economic development of islands in the Union. Energy production capacity in these islands may not always be sufficient to account for the power demand required to support the provision of shore- side electricity supply. In such a case islands should be exempted from this requirement unless and until such ansufficient electrical connectionsupply with the mainland has been completed or there is a sufficient locally generated capacity from clean energy sources. In this regard, terminals that only occasionally receive ship segments falling under the scope of the Regulation should be exempted from OPS/SSE infrastructure investments.

(52) In the application of this Regulation, the Commission should consult relevant expert groups and stakeholders, and in particular the Sustainable Transport Forum (‘STF’) and the European Sustainable Shipping Forum (‘ESSF’). Such expert consultation is of particular importance when the Commission intends to adopt delegated or implementing acts under this Regulation.

Recital 54
(54) The market for alternative fuels and in particular for zero emission fuels is still in the early stages of development and technology is evolving fast. This should likely affect the demand for alternative fuels and consequently for alternative fuels infrastructure across the modes. The Commission should therefore, based on an analysis of the latest technological developments and market readiness and taking into consideration the national policy frameworks, review this Regulation by the end of 2026 in particular as regards the targets setting for electric recharging points for HDV as well as targets for infrastructure for alternative fuels for zero- emission vessels and aircraft in waterborne transport and aviation, in order to ensure legal certainty and predictability for the industry.
