ABBLES members come together for their annual meeting

Join us and Transport & Environment (T&E) to explore "carbon credits for #EVCharging" which has been green-lit under #REDIII. Such a carbon credits market will be mandatory for public charging infrastructure and optional for private charging, enabling different players to claim credits for #EV charging. Member States which include private charging will incentivize private actors to go electric and have EV charging on their premises by improving the economics of #electrification.

What can we learn from the carbon credit mechanisms that are in place in 4 EU countries already? Join the webinar to find out!

📢 Join us on 14th November for a power-packed #webinar:

"Accelerating the Electrification of Europe's Heavy-Duty Vehicle Fleet." ⚡🚛

Meet our panel who will share insights and expertise:

🔹 Hilmar Van Den Dool - General Manager E-mobility, Shell Recharge

🔹 Nils-Gunnar Vågstedt, Ph.D - Director of Technical Affairs, Scania Group

🔹 Jakop Dalunde - MEP, European Parliament

🔹 Henrik Engdahl - Business Development Director, Volvo Trucks

🔹 Jayson Dong - Senior Manager EU Policy, ChargePoint

The webinar will be moderated by Zuzana Púčiková - Director of Public Policy, EVBox.

Get ready to delve into the future of #electric heavy-duty vehicles in Europe.

We’re excited for our second Summer Recharge next week on June 1! 🌴 🔌Join us for our annual reception & gathering for the #eMobility community on a Brussels rooftop to meet with each other & to discuss some of the burning policy issues that will shape the rollout of #EVcharging post-#AFIR. The reception will feature a special panel share unique insights into the state of the EV charging industry:

Christian Hahn (Hubject),

Gonçalo Castelo Branco (EDP Portugal),

Maria Andreeva (Schneider Electric)

Maxwell Philp (Plugsurfing)

Moderated by Aaron Fishbone (GreenWay EV Charging Network).

If you would like to attend, please send an email to Secretariat@ABBLES.eu and we will get back to you.

We have a deal on #Fitfor55 #AFIR! This landmark piece of EU legislation will set common rules across the #EU on many, many topics related to public #EVcharging, from the overall market framework toinfrastructure deployment, information for #electricvehicle users, accepted payment methods, and much more.

To explain and clarify what’s in the legislation and what it means for you and your business we’re hosting this webinar. Join us!

On 23 November, ABBLES hosted a webinar on the ongoing trilogue negotiations on the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR). The webinar featured speakers from ChargeUp membership: Franco Barbieri (evway), Aaron Fishbone (GreenWay) and Tanya Sinclair (ChargePoint). The webinar was moderated by Lucie Mattera, the Secretary General of ABBLESABBLES. Broadly, the webinar examined the following topics:

Targets: the goal of targets should be to kickstart the market in places where it is most needed. Only with ambitious capacity-based targets we can prevent a two-speed Europe from developing and meet the EUs climate targets in time.

Roaming: the primary way that EV drivers charge out of network, both nationally and internationally – therefor AFIR must include roaming in its scope. Only with roaming we give the freedom of choice to the driver and that’s what we are all aiming for.

Retrofits: instead of focusing on rolling back by retrofitting perfectly functioning public AC chargers, we should be focusing on rolling out a lot more public EV charging infrastructure as rapidly as possible to meet the growing demand.

Grids: as grid connection timeline and complexity issues are the largest bottleneck CPOs across Europe face when it comes to rolling out more charging infrastructure. Addressing this key obstacle is crucial
