What CINEA / CEF AFIF means for charging infrastructure

CINEA is the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency. For charging infrastructure, it manages calls under the Connecting Europe Facility (CEF), including the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Facility (AFIF). AFIF supports mature infrastructure projects that accelerate the deployment of alternative fuels along the trans-European transport network (TEN-T).

What the latest 2026 AFIF call supported

  • Publicly accessible recharging pools dedicated to heavy-duty vehicles on the TEN-T network or at eligible nearby locations.
  • For HDV charging, the 2026 road & air topic required high-power architectures centred on Megawatt Charging System (MCS) points of at least 1 MW, with eligible CCS 350 kW points in defined combinations.
  • The call had a €130 million budget, an EU co-funding rate of up to 30% of eligible investment costs and a maximum grant of €10 million per grant agreement.
  • Eligible projects also included electrification of airport ground operations. Requirements vary materially from one AFIF call to another, so each new call must be checked independently.

Who and what type of project fits

  • Public or private legal entities established in an EU Member State or another country associated to CEF, subject to the call conditions.
  • Projects must be mature and able to demonstrate the financing, permits, site rights and technical readiness required by the call.
  • For the latest 2026 call, applicants also needed Member State support and evidence of institutional financing; the infrastructure must comply with AFIR and TEN-T requirements.
