How To Create an Energy Mix

This post is also available in: Français

Energy Mix is a feature in EVC-net that makes the energy source and its environmental impact readily accessible to EV drivers who use publicly available charging points.  This provision of information accessibility is enforced by EU regulation (Directive 2014/94/EU), applicable to users throughout the European Union.  This regulation entered into force on 1 July 2021.

This regulation applies to charging points (and their operators) when:  

• Charging points are publicly available 
• The owner of private charging points voluntarily opens the service for public use, where the charging points are findable on the website & mobile apps 

The information will be available via the Easy Charging Quality app, API and via connections to our roaming partners. So, we’ll help every EV driver to make informed choices toward renewable energy!
