Recital 11
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 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 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.

Recital 12 a (new)
(12a) The rate at which electric vehicles are being sold needs to be taken into account when establishing how many recharging points need to be provided. Given the current fleet renewal rate and how difficult it is to come up with reliable forecasts for 2020, the situation with regard to recharging points for electric vehicles ought to be reviewed every two years on the basis of the fleet in circulation and projections for the following two years.

Recital 13
Recital 13
(13) Electric vehicles could contribute to the stability of the electricity system by recharging their batteries from the grid at times of low general electricity demand and feeding power from the batteries back into the grid at times of high general electricity demand. Therefor. So as to exploit their potential based on the current state of the art with regard to battery production, private recharging points should not use intelligent metering systems, and twhich would only make the deployment of this technology more expensive. The price ofor electricity at a recharging point should be market based, so that flexible consumption (and storage) of electricity is promoted through dynamic pricing.

Recital 13 a (new)
(13a) Infrastructure for alternative fuels must be established in a way that ensures compliance with energy and climate change targets, particularly as regards security of supply, price competitiveness and greenhouse gas reductions. The promotion of alternative fuels, and especially of electric and hybrid vehicles, must be such that it reduces dependence on foreign energy and leads to a cut in emissions given that electricity is generated from emission-free or low- emissions sources.

Annex III – point 1 – point 1.1
Alternate Current (AC) slownormal recharging points for electric vehicles shall be equipped, for interoperability purposes, with connectorsa socket-outlet (on the infrastructure side) of Type 2 as described in standard EN62196-2:2012 that shall comply with all specific safety requirements and, where required, additional safety features, such as a safety shutter. To that end, the standard EN62196-2:2012 shall be kept up to date.
