Terminology

Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR)

Information

Definition

The Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR) sets requirements for public alternative fuels infrastructure, including EV charging access, consumer information, payment and infrastructure deployment. For UK audiences, it should be read with both the EU AFIR framework and the UK Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulations that still influence public charging terminology.

Why it matters

It helps UK users understand why terms such as ad-hoc access, contactless payment, connector availability and public charging data appear in charger regulation and procurement discussions.
