The aim of this report “CEER Report on Electric Vehicles: Network Management and Consumer Protection” is to present an overview of the development of electric mobility and the main issues for national regulators, with a view to deploying charging infrastructure in Council of European Energy Regulators (CEER) member countries, integrating electric mobility into energy systems, and taking account of consumer concerns. It sets out several courses of action for national regulators to ensure the sustained development of electric mobility, in line with European objectives, as highlighted in the Alternative Fuel Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR).
The report concludes that energy regulators have an important role to play in integrating electric mobility into the energy system. Whether in the application of their existing powers, in the formal evolution of their competencies under national legal frameworks, or in their ability to collaborate with relevant stakeholders, such as grid operators and energy suppliers, regulators have a range of options at their disposal to meet the challenges addressed in this report. The report provides examples of actions NRAs may find helpful in considering their approaches to electromobility within their national mandates, supported by real-life best practice case studies from across CEER member countries.
