AFIR

AFIR is the EU’s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (EU) 2023/1804, applicable in all member states
since 13 April 2024. For you as a driver it mainly means three things at public charging stations: the option
to charge and pay without a contract (ad-hoc), fair and transparent prices, and easy payment methods.
Smart Fuel Pass supports all of these.
Yes. With Smart Fuel Pass you can pay on a one-off basis — in the app, via the web portal, App Clip or as a
guest, with no prior contract. At public fast-charging stations (50 kW and above), direct card or contactless
payment at the station is also available.
AFIR requires a transparent ad-hoc price. At stations of 50 kW and above, the price per kWh must be displayed at the station. In the Smart Fuel Pass app you see the tariff (€/kWh, plus any time-based fee) before you start charging, so you always know what you pay.
In practice, AFIR comes down to a few obligations at publicly accessible stations: enable ad-hoc payment
without a contract, accept card/contactless payment depending on the station’s power, display a transparent
price (per kWh), and provide static and dynamic data about your stations. This follows mainly from Article 5
(payments and pricing) and Article 20 (data).
It depends on the power of the charging point put into operation from 13 April 2024:

Below 50 kW: one method is enough — a payment card reader, a contactless device (at least able to read
  cards), or secure online payment (e.g. a QR code).
50 kW and above: a card reader or a contactless device is required. A QR code alone is not sufficient.
Public stations of 50 kW and above that were put into operation before 13 April 2024 and are located on the
TEN-T network or in safe and secure parking areas must enable card/contactless payment by 1 January 2027 at the latest (retrofit obligation). If you operate such stations, we recommend not leaving it to the last
minute — see our Outdoor payment terminal.
For stations below 50 kW, yes — as one of the permitted options. For stations of 50 kW and above, no: AFIR
requires a card reader or a contactless device. Fast chargers therefore need real payment-card acceptance
(for example via our outdoor payment terminal and the Ultima Payments payment solution).
As a CPO you must provide static data (location, connector type, power) and dynamic data (availability,
ad-hoc price) — free of charge and on a non-discriminatory basis, via the National Access Point (NAP). From
14 April 2026, data is submitted to the NAP in DATEX II format. Smart Fuel Pass can handle this reporting for you via the OCPI interface.
We cover the AFIR requirements in one place: ad-hoc payment without a contract (app / web / guest), card and contactless acceptance (Ultima Payments + outdoor payment terminal), display of a transparent price per kWh, and reporting of static and dynamic data to the NAP. We can review your network and propose a path to compliance — write to support@smartfuelpass.com or visit Charging Point Operator.
AFIR is a directly applicable EU regulation; oversight of compliance and any penalties are the responsibility
of the competent national authorities. We recommend addressing specific assessments and deadlines well in advance — we’re happy to help you determine which of your stations need adjustment and by when.
