Petition is addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner is seeking the adoption of EU provisions to facilitate the use of electric vehicles in Europe. He expresses concern at what he describes as major legal obstacles designed to protect vested interests, seriously undermining free competition. He argues that EU law should provide for the following:  availability of rapid charging stations; charges levied in EUR/kWh only and not for charging time; possibility to pay by bank card; requirement that no new vehicles be registered in the EU other than those fitted with combined charging systems and type-2 connectors; requirement that service stations with more than a certain turnover install a rapid charging station with payment by kWh;  EU funding for municipalities enabling them to provide such facilities.
