How to ensure Europe’s EV charging infrastructure buildout succeeds

The EU’s Fit for 55 legislative package is a bold step towards aligning European law with its climate ambitions. At the heart of this initiative is the **Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR)**, which aims to accelerate the transition to electric mobility by setting standards for charging infrastructure across member states. According to the AFIR proposal, each country must ensure a minimum number of charging points per electric vehicle (EV) on the road. While this seems like a logical approach, it may not be sufficient to meet the EU’s broader goals of making EV charging as convenient as filling up a gas tank. The current targets are based on existing EV numbers, which means countries with smaller fleets may not see significant improvements in infrastructure, while those with high EV adoption may not need additional incentives. This one-size-fits-all strategy could hinder progress, especially in regions where EV uptake is still low. Without tailored targets, many drivers may continue to experience **range anxiety**, fearing that charging stations won’t be available when they need them most. To truly support the energy transition and make electric mobility accessible to all, the EU needs a more flexible approach. Instead of a uniform standard, it should implement **capacity-based targets** that reflect the unique needs of each country. For example, countries with fewer EVs could be required to install more charging points than their current demand suggests, helping to build confidence among potential buyers. At the same time, countries with well-established EV markets should be allowed more freedom to grow organically, without unnecessary regulatory constraints. This would encourage private investment and foster a competitive environment where charging networks can thrive. By adopting a more nuanced strategy, the EU can address the main barriers to EV adoption, stimulate infrastructure development, and create a sustainable market for electric vehicles. It’s time to move beyond generic targets and embrace a future where every driver, no matter where they live in Europe, can confidently choose an electric car.
