Your legal partner in e-mobility: compliance made easy

Keeping up with changing regulations in the fast-paced e-mobility industry isn’t easy on your own. To stay compliant and manage risks, access to up-to-date legal advice is essential.  

A trusted legal advisor can guide you through complex policies like the Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), the Network and Information Security (NIS2) Directive, and the EU Data Act. 

In this article, Ilenia Lombardo, Head of Legal and Data Protection Officer at Last Mile Solutions, explains how our legal expertise helps you stay compliant so you can focus on growing your e-mobility business.  

How can you benefit from our legal expertise?  

Here’s how our legal team’s industry-specific knowledge can help you grow confidently in the market:  

Ready-to-use contract templates  

Our templates for SaaS agreements, appendices, roaming contracts, and more give you a solid starting point and save you the hassle of drafting contracts from scratch. We’ll then work with you to clarify terms, address feedback, and negotiate final details to make sure every contract aligns with your operational and legal requirements.  

We also offer data processing agreements to protect sensitive information and meet privacy regulations, helping you build trust with your customers.   

Tailored solutions for your needs 

No two partners are the same. Whether you’re just entering the e-mobility space or transitioning from another provider, we customize our services to fit your unique needs. 

We help clarify roles across the e-mobility ecosystem, including mobility service providers (MSPs) and charge point operators (CPOs), with flexible documentation that keeps operations running smoothly. For example, if MSP handles its own invoicing, we’ll detail this in an appendix covering invoicing and payment processes. This ensures that every role and responsibility is clearly defined in legal terms. 

You’ll also get support from local experts through our wide network of lawyers. Our templates are available in multiple languages, including French, German, and Dutch, making them adaptable to different markets.  

Compliance with evolving regulations  

Preparing documentation that aligns with current laws—and keeping it accurate over time—requires strong legal expertise.   

We take the burden off your shoulders by turning complex regulations into practical solutions, so you can stay compliant without the extra effort. With our deep industry expertise, you’ll always be one step ahead of evolving regulations, from the Radio Equipment Directive (RED)’s new cybersecurity rules, to the AI Act and the European Accessibility Act.   

The EU Data Act: What it means for e-mobility businesses   

The EU Data Act is one of Europe’s key new laws, setting clear rules for data access, sharing, and fair contracts. It applies to connected product manufacturers, service providers, and SaaS platform providers like Last Mile Solutions.  

By complying with the EU Data Act, we allow our customers to:  

• Have full control over their data 

• Access better data interoperability   

• Benefit from fairer, more transparent contracts   

Under the Act, our contracts with our Partners must meet the following new rules: 

Fair contracts: Service providers like us cannot impose unfair terms like excessive exit fees or restrictions on data portability. The Act bans clauses that restrict switching, impose hidden charges, or allow unilateral changes. 

Data portability and interoperability: We must ensure customers can export their data in standard, machine-readable formats, with full functionality maintained throughout migration.    

Transparency requirements: Before signing a contract, our customers must receive clear information on what data can be exported, and which interoperability standards apply. 

How we ensure compliance with the EU Data Act   

At Last Mile Solutions, we’re putting clear processes in place to meet the EU Data Act requirements: 

Map data: Identify all data generated by connected products and services, and categorise it by type, purpose, and access points.  

Reconfigure systems: Ensure data can be exported in standard formats via APIs. 

Define data-sharing policies: Document and communicate how data is shared, with whom, and under what conditions. 

Review contractual terms: Align contracts with the Data Act, ensuring fair terms, clear responsibilities, and transparent fees. 

Prepare your teams: Educate sales, legal, and technical teams on all new requirements. 

Align with other laws: Make sure the Data Act approach fits alongside GDPR and other EU regulations. 

Stay ahead of e-mobility regulations 

At Last Mile Solutions, we build strong partnerships based on trust, expertise, and mutual success. The new Data Act reinforces what we have believed from the beginning: our Partners should stay in control of their data. We see the EU Data Act as a positive shift for our industry, promoting fairness, portability, and transparency to build healthier markets and stronger partnerships. 

With over a decade of experience in e-mobility, IT, and payment processing, our partners choose us for our expertise, flexibility, and hands-on support. When you don’t have to worry about legal complexities, you can focus on innovation and expansion—which is crucial to stay ahead in the dynamic e-mobility industry.
