EU introducing new labelling standards for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure from March 20
By Jim Gibbins - 25th March 2021
Belgium – The European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA), based in Brussels, has agreed a set of new labels for electric vehicles and charging stations for certifying compliance with the EU Directive on the deployment of alternative fuels and infrastructure (2014/94/EU). The new labels will start to be used throughout Europe as of March 20 this year.
As well as appearing on charging stations, the labels will be placed on all newly-produced electric cars, vans, trucks, buses, coaches, mopeds, motorcycles, tricycles and quadricycles in a clear and visible manner. The aim is to help consumers identify the right recharging option for their battery electric and plug-in hybrid-electric vehicles by harmonising labelling across the entire EU.
