Its key elements and strategic core were transposed by the publication of the National Policy Framework on Alternative Fuels Infrastructure for Transport in Ireland on the 31st of May, 2017. The few outstanding issues requiring transposition by statutory instrument relate to setting and enforcing adherence to pricing and interoperability requirements for new electric vehicle recharging infrastructure and gas and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure technical standards.
