KEY CHALLENGES ROLLING OUT HPC

LOCATIONS


➢Availability of suitable space to install HPC charging hubs along motorways and major traffic routes

➢Additional need for space in urban areas and commercial vehicles in the future

GRID CONNECTIONS

➢Availability of sufficient Power at the location

➢Long lead times delay charging infrastructure rollout 6 – 24 months, depending on region

REGULATION AND PERMITS

➢Permitting processes are complex and take a very long time

➢Regulatory requirements are very diverse across Europe

➢Dynamic regulatory framework create uncertainty for long-term business models

➢New technical requirements result in added cost which will impact the business model

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PUBLIC AUTHORITIES

PRIORITISE CHARGING LOCATIONS


➢Make public land available for charging infrastructure wherever reasonable

➢Incentivise the installation of publicly accessible charging on private land

➢Earmark new locations along motorways or major traffic routes/hubs

EXPAND THE POWER GRID

➢Invest in power grid expansion where charging is most needed (motorways, traffic hubs, etc.)

➢Enable streamlined permitting for grid connections

➢Incentivise DSO and TSO to prioritise charging infrastructure

SUPPORTIVE REGULATORY FRAMEWORK

➢Set a stable and consistent framework that the market can depend on and grow

➢Harmonise requirements as much as possible

➢Streamline the permitting process for charging infrastructure

➢Regulation should set the framework and targets – technical solutions develop quicker than regulation
