A new directive setting technical standards, licensing requirements, and safety measures for electric vehicle (EV) charging stations has been approved. Created by the Petroleum & Energy Authority (PEA), it aims to ensure the quality of energy supply and the safety of charging stations and accelerate the adoption of EVs. The directive outlines service provision regulations, including technical and safety standards as well as electricity tariff criteria. It divides public charging stations into two categories: those connected to the power grid and those operating independently. Licensed companies must submit tariff proposals for approval before commencing operations. To ensure accessibility, the directive mandates charging stations be installed at 50 km intervals on both sides of expressways, and at 120 km intervals for trucks and larger vehicles. It also holds both service providers and customers accountable for compliance with safety and operational standards.
