In addition to these requirements regarding the charging pole, the applicant must also meet some requirements.
For example, an evaluation of the effectiveness of the funding programme is planned as part of an accompanying and subsequent performance review. The funding recipients are therefore obligated to provide all data required for monitoring the success of the funding programme and specified by the funding agency, in compliance with data protection regulations.
In addition, they must participate in surveys, interviews and other data collection activities and provide other necessary information.
Only if all requirements are met and the applicant fulfils all obligations will he or she have the opportunity to successfully participate in the "Local charging infrastructure" funding programme.
