The Role of Municipalities

Municipalities are crucial in the energy transition process, as they manage the territory and drive sustainability policies.

The pace of installation of the charging infrastructure for electric vehicles depends on the definition of:

  • Harmonized regulations for authorizing the installation of public access charging stations;
  • Expedited and unbureaucratic procedures for licensing the occupation of public space for charging electric vehicles;
  • Licensing fees that are appropriate to the initial stage of the electric mobility market, that stimulate its growth and promote competition between Charging Point Operators.

Here are some key factors that should be included in municipal regulations for authorizing the installation of charging stations:

  • Procedure for granting a license;

  • Effectiveness and legal validity of licenses;

  • Fees;

  • Characteristics and conditions for installing charging stations;

  • Geographical location and description of the type of stations to be installed.
