On 14 July 2021, the European Commission presented the ‘fit for 55’ package of proposals to help reduce net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55 % by 2030, compared with 1990 levels. The package included a proposal to revise the 2014 Directive on Alternative Fuels Infrastructure and turn it into a regulation. In the draft regulation, the Commission proposed binding targets for electric vehicle charging points and hydrogen refuelling points, electric charging for stationary aircraft at airports and on-shore power supply for ships at ports.
Interinstitutional negotiations started in November 2022 and a provisional agreement was reached on 28 March 2023. Parliament adopted the new rules in plenary on 11 July. The Council adopted them on 25 July. The final act was signed on 13 September and published in the Official Journal of the EU on 22 September 2023.
