(9) The deployment of publicly accessible recharging infrastructure for light-duty electric vehicles has been uneven across the Union. 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 levelember States should therefore be provided with 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. 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 in order to ensure easy and seamless travel throughout the Union.

(12) Owners of electric vehicles should make use to a large extent of recharging points at their own premises or in collective parking lots in residential and non-residential buildings. While the deployment of ducting infrastructure and of recharging points in those buildings is regulated through Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, Member States should take into account the availability of such private infrastructure when planning the deployment of publicly accessible recharging points, as well as the uneven national distribution of recharging points, which currently gives priority to cities. __________________ 50Directive 2010/31/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 19 May 2010 on the energy performance of buildings (OJ L 153, 18.6.2010, p. 13).

(26) Hydrogen-powered motor vehicles have at present very low market penetration rates. However, a build-up of sufficient hydrogen refuelling infrastructure is essential in order to make large-scale hydrogen-powered motor vehicle deployment possible as envisaged in the Commission’s hydrogen strategy for a climate-neutral Europe. Currently, hydrogen refuelling points are only deployed in a few Member States and are largely not suitable for heavy-duty vehicles, not allowing for a circulation of hydrogen vehicles across the Union. Mandatory dDeployment targets for publicly accessible hydrogen refuelling points should ensure that a sufficiently dense network of hydrogen refuelling points is deployed across the TEN-T core network to allow for the seamless travel of hydrogen fuelled light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles throughout the Union. __________________ 54 COM(2020) 301 final.

(36) Electricity supply to stationary aircraft at airports should replace the consumption of liquid fuel with a cleaner power source by aircraft (use of Auxiliary Power Unit) or ground power units (GPUs), within a time frame that takes into account the considerable pandemic- related difficulties that hinder this sector. This should reduce pollutant and noise emissions, improve air quality and reduce the impact on climate change. Therefore, all commercial transport operation should be able to make use of external electricity supply while parked at gates or at outfield positions at TEN-T airports.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 38
Recital 38
(38) The revised national policy frameworks should include supporting actions for the development of the market as regards alternative fuels, without promoting one type of fuel over another, including the deployment of the necessary infrastructure to be put into place, in close cooperation with regional and local authorities and with the industry concerned, while taking into account the needs of small and medium- sized enterprises. Additionally, the revised frameworks should describe the overall national framework for planning, permitting and procuring of such infrastructure, including the identified obstacles and actions to remove them so that a faster rollout of infrastructure can be achieved.

Recital 38 a (new)
Recital 38 a (new)
(38a) The action plan should fully take into account the research on synthetic liquid fuels in order to capitalise on the significant technological progress made on combustion engines, the ongoing reduction of CO2 emissions and fine particles, the know-how of industrial groups in this sector, and the importance of these types of engines for both heavy and light commercial and private vehicles.

Recital 41
Recital 41
(41) Member States should make use of a wide range of regulatory and non- regulatory incentives and measurincentives to reach the mandatory targets and implement their national policy frameworks, in close cooperation with private sector actors and researchers in particular, who should play a key role in supporting the development of alternative fuels infrastructure.

Recital 53
Recital 53
(53) Alternative fuels infrastructure is a fast developing area. The lack of common technical specification constitutes a barrier for the creation of a single market of alternative fuels infrastructure. Therefore, the power to adopt acts in accordance with Article 290 TFEU should be delegated to the Commission to ncommon rules form technical specifications should be laid down for areas where common technical specifications are outstanding but necessary. In particular, this should include the communication between the electric vehicle and the recharging point, the communication between the recharging point and the recharging software management system (back-end); the communication related to the electric vehicle roaming service and the communication with the electricity grid. It is also necessary to define the suitable governance framework and roles of the different actors involved in the vehicle-to- grid communication ecosystem. Moreover, emerging technological developments, such as electric road systems (‘ERS’) have to be accounted for. As concerns data provision, it is necessary to provide for additional data types and technical specifications related to the format, the frequency and the quality in which these data should be made available and accessible.

(55) Since the objective of this Regulation, namely to promote a broad market development of alternative fuels, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States individually, but can rather, by reason ofthe diverse range of alternative fuels, may be applied in different ways because of the diversity of the Member State transport networks and their need fors, action to meet the demand for a critical mass of alternative fuel vehicles and formust be based on dialogue between EU and national actors in order to allow cost- efficient developments by European industry, and to allow Union-wide mobility of alternative fuel vehicles, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective.

2. Where it is evident from the report referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article or from any information available to the Commission that a Member State is at risk of not meeting its national targets as referred to in Article 3(1), the Commission may issue a finding to this effect and request the Member State concerned to take corrective measures to meet the national targets. Within three months following the receipt of the Commission’s findings, the Member State concerned shall notify to the Commission the corrective measures that it plans to implement to meet the targets set in Article 3(1). The corrective measures shall entail additional actions that the Member State shall implement to meet the targets set in Article 3(1) and a clear timetable for actions that enables the assessment of the annual progress towards meeting those targets. Where the Commission finds that the corrective measures are satisfactory, the Member State concerned shall update its latest progress report as referred to in Article 14 with these corrective measures and submit it to the Commission.
