- EV charging market value is projected to surge to EUR 36 billion by 2030 with an annual growth rate of 25%.
- However, EV charging providers face a significant barrier due to the VAT hurdle, as they need to register for VAT in every Member State where they have end users charging.
- The proposed One-Stop-Shop (OSS) mechanism for VAT will be introduced from January 1, 2025, specifically catering to the B2C supply of electricity, which will significantly reduce administrative burdens and ensure the fast-paced growth of the EV charging sector remains uninterrupted.
- There may be a delay in the implementation of this simplification, but once the OSS mechanism is in place, it will ensure every player can drive forward without VAT registration roadblocks.
