AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication

The EU’s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) has reached a milestone, with 1.1 million public chargers deployed by the end of 2025, meeting or surpassing distance‑based targets. Transport & Environment (T&E) argues that the regulation should now prioritize quality over quantity, focusing on price transparency, user information, accessibility, and comparability. T&E recommends specific revisions to AFIR to create a seamless, competitive charging network that better serves electric‑vehicle users across member states.
