The European parliament has endorsed a draft directive that aims to reduce the dependence on oil and boost the acceptance of alternative fuel, in order to achieve a 60% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions from the transportation sector by 2050. The EU draft directive would require member states to set their targets to develop their own publicly available networks of electric vehicle recharging points (EVRP) and fuel stations for alternative fuels by 2020. Currently, UK is legally obligated to install a minimum of 70,000 EVRP by 2020. However, Italy and Germany have set their target at 72,000 and 86,000 EVRP installations respectively.
