OPINION on the proposal for a directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure
Amendments (13)

Proposal for a directive
Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) Electricity is a clean fuel at point of use and is 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 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 18
Recital 18
(18) Member States should ensure that publicly accessible infrastructure for the supply of hydrogen to motor vehicles is built up as the technology matures, with distances between refuelling points for motor vehicles allowing area covering circulation of hydrogen vehicles within the national territory, as well as a certain number of refuelling points located in urban agglomerations. This would allow hydrogen vehicles to circulate Union-wide.

Recital 24
Recital 24
(24) With the increasing diversity in the type of fuels for motorized vehicles coupled with on-going growth in the road mobility of citizens across the Union, it is necessary to provide the consumers with a clear and easy to understand information on the compatibility of their vehicle with different fuels offered in the transport fuels market of the Union, without prejudice to Directive 2009/30/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 April 2009 amending Directive 98/70/EC as regards the specification of petrol, diesel and gas-oil and introducing a mechanism to monitor and reduce greenhouse gas emissions and amending Council Directive 1999/32/EC as regards the specification of fuel used by inland waterway vessels and repealing Directive 93/12/EEC . In particular, EU-wide standardisation of the colours used for the hoses and nozzles to deliver fuel at filling stations should be considered.

Amendment 92 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 4 – paragraph 8
Article 4 – paragraph 8
8. Member States shall not prohibit electric vehicle users from buying electricity from any electricity supplier regardless of the Member State in which the supplier is registered. Member States shall ensure that consumers have the right to contract electricity simultaneously with several suppliers so that electricity supply for an electric vehicle can be contracted separately. Member States shall ensure that the above does not result in separate connection fees or a separate physical electricity connection required.
Amendment 100 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 5 – paragraph 1
Article 5 – paragraph 1
1. Member States on the territory of which exist already at the day of the entry into force of this Directive hydrogen refuelling points shall ensure that a sufficient number of publicly accessible refuelling points are available, with distances not exceeding 300 km, to allow the circulation of hydrogen vehicles within the entire nationalmainland territory by 31 December 2020 at the latest.
