European Grids Package: ChargeUp Europe’s proposed amendments

Written By Guest User

As part of the ongoing discussions on the European Grids Package, ChargeUp Europe has proposed a set of targeted amendments to better support the rollout of efficient, future-ready recharging infrastructure.

These include:

  • Update definitions to reflect battery co-location and align with AFIR

  • Apply permitting thresholds at recharging pool level

  • Recognise recharging infrastructure as overriding public interest

  • Extend rules to support hybridisation of stations

  • Avoid EIAs for small-scale (<1 MW) storage in hybrid pools

  • Ensure access to Flexible Connection Agreements (incl. >100 kW)

  • Call for clear EU guidance on FCA implementation

  • Introduce a single national digital permitting portal These changes aim to remove bottlenecks, improve regulatory clarity, and accelerate the deployment of EV charging networks across Europe.
