Tesla recommends not to extend the Emissions Trading System to road transport for the following reasons: • The EU CO2 regulations for cars, vans and trucks has proven to be the single most important driver for emission reductions in the transport sector and for accelerating the transition to an electrified fleet in the EU.

I believe that eventual regulatory measures to address excess global capacity into EU should be centered and progressive, not lobbied by EU mills to raise prices in a panicky environment. I think it would be correct to curb progressively the import "duty free" quotas (perhaps in 2 steps from the current 36 Miot, proposed to go to 18 Mio/t) and leaving the beyond quota duty at 25% (not 50%).

Recommendations for analysis: • Make a trend analysis of the annual rate of improvement required between 2019 and 2030 according to current legislation, including the impact of the ZLEV benchmark on required CO2 cuts and the inclusion of MAC improvements in eco-innovations; • On the basis of that analysis, investigate ways to accelerate the required rate of improvement in these years, including for the early years…

Dear Officials, thank you for giving us the opportunity to contribute to your Call for Evidence on the European Grid Package. The European Electricity Market Integration is a great European achievement. Electricity companies now benefit from access to a vast Internal Electricity Market, where electricity freely flows across borders, with expanded cross-border trading opportunities, only limited by available…

Access to an extensive, convenient and reliable fast-charging network is critical for large-scale electric vehicle (EV) adoption. That’s why, since opening our first Superchargers in 2012, we have been committed to rapid expansion of the network. Today, we have more than 30,000 Superchargers (high power chargers) worldwide.

General remarks Tesla welcomes the European Commission’s initiative to revise Directive 2014/94/EU on the deployment of alternative fuel infrastructure (AFID) in line with the objective to make the EU climate-neutral by 2050, for which rapid uptake of zero-emission vehicles is a key cornerstone.

Tesla is a world leader in battery storage and electric vehicles (EVs) manufacturing, including EV chargers. As a pioneering manufacturer of energy products and provider of grid flexibility services, including demand response, Tesla is driving the transition to sustainable abundance.

Waste Shipment – Revision of EU rules Tesla input to the European Commission’s inception impact assessment General remarks: Tesla welcomes the European Commission’s intention to review the EU’s Waste Shipment Regulation (WSR) in light of the new Circular Economy Action Plan and the European Green Deal.

Tesla is a world leader in battery energy storage systems (battery storage), electric vehicles (EVs) and their charging infrastructure. As pioneering manufacturer of energy products and provider of grid flex services, including demand response, Tesla is driving the transition to sustainable abundance.

Tesla supports the revision of the RfG. Europe would benefit from having a single set of grid connection rules for energy storage and for V2G. Harmonization is what makes mass-manufactured batteries and charging infrastructure affordable and scalable. It lowers cost for consumers and brings flexible, dispatchable capacity onto the grid when Europe needs it most. The Commission is pointing in the right direction.

Tesla Europe strongly supports harmonization of requirements for recharging points under the Measuring Instruments Directive (MID). Currently, the lack of unified metering standards across the EU has resulted in inconsistent national laws and market fragmentation, undermining the single market.

Tesla Europe supports and welcomes the idea of harmonized requirements for recharging points under MID, as long as the aim is to make national legislation redundant: the absence of harmonised requirements for metering solutions for recharging points leads to diverging national legislation and a fragmentation of the single market and shall therefore be converged with national legislations.

Trucks account for just 2.5% of the vehicles on EU roads, but are responsible for over one quarter of CO2 emissions from road transport. Moreover, heavy-duty road traffic is projected to increase by 44% by 2050.
