POLICY NOTE: Roadmap for embedding user-friendly provisions in AFIR on public EV charging prices and data

This policy note is based on an analytical study carried out for Transport & Environment (T&E) and the European Consumer Organisation (BEUC) in the context of the upcoming review of the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR). The objective of the study is to assess how AFIR can better ensure a transparent, predictable and user-friendly charging experience across Europe. The analysis focuses specifically on price transparency, comparability of charging options, and the visibility of all price components before and after a charging session in order to avoid eventual excessive prices.
