Transport Electrification: Regulatory Guidelines for the Development of Charging Infrastructure

This monograph aims to provide a guideline regarding the development of an electric mobility charging infrastructure ecosystem and the necessary actions to be taken by policy makers to promote its deployment. Governments and public authorities play a key role in the deployment of charging infrastructure for electric vehicles, through the development of mechanisms and tools to enable and facilitate stakeholders involvement. An adequate deployment of the charging infrastructure network is required in order to ensure that electric mobility targets and goals are achieved.

The development and evolution of electric mobility penetration will drive to an increasing complexity on the development of the necessary measures to ensure an adequate and interoperable charging infrastructure deployment, whilst in early stages of electric mobility penetration, simple measures and actions by policymakers can make a significant impact on charging accessibility and deployment.
