TEN-T

Also called: Trans-European Transport Network TEN-T is the European Union's trans-European transport network covering major transport corridors, nodes and connections across Europe. AFIR uses the TEN-T road network as a basis for binding EV charging-infrastructure deployment targets. The regulation sets requirements for charging pools serving light-duty and heavy-duty vehicles at specified intervals and with minimum power levels as the network develops. TEN-T is therefore a location and infrastructure-planning concept rather than a charging technology. Its relevance to an EVSE supplier comes from where AFIR requires charging capacity to be deployed.
