What they argued
Feedback Response to Ares(2026)69111 from ElaadNL Strengths and weaknesses of the EU open-source sector The EU opensource sector benefits from strong collaboration, alignment with EU values, and a need for digital sovereignty.
ElaadNL is the knowledge and innovation centre in the field of Smart Charging and the charging infrastructure in the Netherlands and is an initiative of the Dutch grid operators. ElaadNL welcomes the revision of the ETD. In the revision proposal the Commission aims to prevent double taxation in case of energy storage by classifying energy storage facilities as “redistributors” of electricity.
To achieve the EUs 2040 climate objectives and higher shares of renewable energy, the electricity system must become significantly more flexible. Smart and bidirectional charging of electric vehicles provides a scalable, cost-effective and already available source of flexibility.
None of the current EU-instruments specifically addresses the cyber security of the EV-recharging infrastructure at this moment in time. The EU-policy regarding the cyber security of recharging infrastructure seems scattered and there is no comprehensive approach. In this context, the proposed Cyber Resilience Act may act as a safety net to fill in the legislative gaps which are not covered by specific instruments.
ElaadNL is the knowledge and innovation centre in the field of Smart Charging and the charging infrastructure in the Netherlands and is an initiative of the Dutch grid operators. ElaadNL welcomes the revision of the AFID into a regulation. The binding character of a regulation is essential to guarantee the roll-out of sufficient recharging infrastructure across all member states.
ElaadNL welcomes the revision of the Network Code on Requirements for Generators, recognizing it as a significant advancement for integrating Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and other storage technologies in the European electricity system. Please find attached our detailed response.
Due to the expected growth in the number of recharging points for electric vehicles in Europe, considering the obligations in AFIR and the Fitfor55 package, the potential impact of a cyber attack on recharging infrastructure is increasing.
