(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. Therefore recharging points should use intelligent metering systems, and the price for electricity at a recharging point should be market based, so that flexible consumption (and storage) of electricity iscan be promoted through dynamic pricing.

(26) Technical specifications for interoperability of recharging and refuelling points should be specified in European standards which are fully compatible with relevant international standards. Lack of European standards prevents giving detailed references to some required specifications. Thus the Commission should ask European standardisation organisations to publish such European standards in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 1025/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council on European Standardisation, amending Council Directives 89/686/EEC and 93/15/EEC and Directives 94/9/EC, 94/25/EC, 95/16/EC 97/23/EC, 98/34/EC, 2004/22/EC, 2007/23/EC, 2009/23/EC and 2009/105/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Decision 87/95/EEC and Decision No 1673/2006/EC, and those standards should be based on current international standards or on-going international standardisation work, where applicable. Where international standards are already available, technical specifications contained in them should be used as an intermediate solution, pending the adoption of European standards. For standards not yet published, the work will be based on: (i) ‘Configuration FF, IEC 62196-3:CDV 2012’ for fast DC electric recharging points for motor vehicles, (ii) ISO TC67/WG10 for LNG refuelling points for waterborne vessels iii) the work of ISO/TC 252 for CNG and L-CNG refuelling for motor vehicles. The Commission should be empowered to adapt the references to technical specifications given in European standards through delegated acts. This should be without prejudice to legislation in place regarding the rail sector which is governed by legally binding technical specifications for interoperability as provided for in Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council1. _________________ 1 Directive 2008/57/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 on the interoperability of the rail system within the Community (Recast) (OJ L 191, 18.7.2008, p. 1–45)
Amendment 152 #
Proposal for a directive
Article 1
Article 1
This Directive establishes a common framework of measures for the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure in the Union in order to break the oil dependence of transport and sets out minimum requirements on alternative fuels infrastructure build-up and common technical specifications, including recharging points for electric vehicles and refuelling points for natural gas (LNG and CNG) and hydrogen, while acknowledging the different stages of development for each technology and related infrastructures, including the maturity of business models for private investors and the availability and customer acceptance of products. Population density and geographical characteristics should be furthermore taken into account when defining minimum infrastructure targets.
