Question for written answer E-002205/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Bruno Tobback (S&D)
Given the importance of expanding the sale and use of zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) to meet climate, energy and industrial goals, it is essential to ensure that consumers have full confidence in the technology and its everyday practicality.
Range anxiety is often cited as a major concern. This issue stems not only from limited charging infrastructure but also from the inaccuracy of the vehicle’s displayed range. External factors such as weather, terrain and payload can cause significant differences between the estimated and actual driving range.
The technology to provide accurate driving range estimates already exists; the main challenge is access to data. By adopting the long-awaited regulation on access to in-vehicle data, the EU can address this issue and facilitate the widespread deployment of services that would greatly enhance user confidence in everyday use.
- 1.When does the Commission intend to present the long-awaited legislative proposal on access to in-vehicle data, functions, and resources, in order to support the deployment of such use cases?
- 2.What are the reasons for the delay in bringing forward this proposal? Are there specific technological or administrative challenges, or are certain stakeholders hindering progress?
