(3) Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council46 and Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 of the European Parliament and of the Council47 already set CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles as well as for certain heavy-duty vehicles. The revision of those instruments should be aligned with the revision of the current Regulation in order to ensure a coherent framework for the use and deployment of alternative fuels in road transport and in order to accelerate the uptake in particular of zero-emission vehicles and thereby create demand for recharging and refuelling infrastructure. _________________ 46 Regulation (EU) 2019/631 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new passenger cars and for new light commercial vehicles, and repealing Regulations (EC) No 443/2009 and (EU) No 510/2011 (OJ L 111, 25.4.2019, p. 13). 47 Regulation (EU) 2019/1242 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 setting CO2 emission performance standards for new heavy-duty vehicles and amending Regulations (EC) No 595/2009 and (EU) 2018/956 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Council Directive 96/53/EC (OJ L 198, 25.7.2019, p. 202).

(4) The initiatives on ReFuelEU aviation48 and FuelEU maritime49 should boost the production and uptake of sustainable alternative fuels in aviation and maritime transport. While the fuel use requirements for the sustainable aviation fuels can largely rely on the existing refuelling infrastructure, investments are needed for the electricity supply of stationary aircraft. Moreover, Member State should assess the current state and future development of the hydrogen market for aviation and should provide for a feasibility study on the deployment of the relevant infrastructure to power aircrafts including, where appropriate, a deployment plan for alternative fuels infrastructure in airports, in particular for hydrogen and electric recharging for aircrafts. The FuelEU maritime initiative sets requirements in particular for the use of on shore power that can only be fulfilled if an adequate level of on shore power supply is deployed in TEN-T ports. However those initiatives do not contain any provisions on the required fuel infrastructure which are a prerequisite that the targets can be met. Furthermore, the Energy Taxation Directive1a recast should incentivise the use of on shore power. Therefore, alignment between this Directive and the current Regulation is necessary in order to ensure a coherent framework for the use and deployment of alternative fuels. _________________ 1a COM(2021) 563 48 COM(2021) 561. 49 COM(2021) 562.

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, therefore more ambitious targets for these mature technologies are required. Hydrogen fuel- cell road vehicles are available to markets, as well. In addition, smaller hydrogen and battery electric vessels, solar-electric cars, 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, the principle of technological neutrality should be respected in these sectors in order to boost the uptake of new and 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, 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, ensuring further decarbonisation of heavy duty transport in the short term.

Recital 21 a (new)
(21 a) Bidirectional charging at both private and publicly accessible infrastructure could encourage people to purchase electric vehicles, as they can then be used for mobility as well as energy storage. Therefore, legislative hurdles such as double taxation should be prevented in order to further develop the business case of bidirectional charging and a sufficient number of private and publicly accessible charging stations should be made available for smart, bidirectional charging.

(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 differentapplicable cost components and anticipate the total cost.

Recital 27
(27) Hydrogen fuelled vehicles should be able to refuel at or close to the destination, which is usually located in an urban area. To ensure that publicly accessible destination refuelling is possible at least in the main urban areas, all urban nodes as defined in Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council55 should provide such refuelling stations. Within the urban nodes, public authorities should consider to deploy the stations within multimodal freight centres as those are not only the typical destination for heavy-duty vehicles but could also serve hydrogen to other transport modes, such as rail and inland shipping. Long distance collective passenger transport should also be enabled to make use of hydrogen refuelling stations at coach parking areas and terminals. _________________ 55 Regulation (EU) No 1315/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on Union guidelines for the development of the trans-European transport network and repealing Decision No 661/2010/EU (OJ L 348, 20.12.2013, p. 1).

(30) Users of alternative fuel vehicles should be able to pay easily and conveniently at all publicly accessible recharging and refuelling points, without the need to enter into a contract with the operator of the recharging or refuelling point or a mobility service provider. Therefore, for recharging or refuelling on an ad hoc basis, all publicly accessible recharging and refuelling points should accept payment instruments that are widely used in the Union, and in particular electronic payments through terminals and devices used for payment services, at least via payment cards. That ad hoc payment method should always be available to consumers, even when contract-based payments are offered at the recharging or refuelling point.

Recital 43
(43) In light of the increasing diversity in the type of fuels for motorised vehicles coupled with on-going growth in the road mobility of citizens across the Union, it is necessary to provide vehicle users with clear and easy-to-understand information on the fuels available at refuelling stations and on the compatibility of their vehicle with different fuels or recharging points on the Union market. It is equally necessary to provide vehicle users with information on the availability at recharging and refuelling stations, including the possibility to reserve. Member States should be able to decide to implement such information measures also in respect of vehicles placed on the market before 18 November 2016.

(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.
