Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Standardization

One of the most frequently asked questions that a third party safety organization is asked centers on “What standard applies to EV infrastructure products?” This paper will outline the various standardization activities for charging infrastructure for both conductive and wireless power transfer technologies. It will discuss the development status, expected publication schedules, and technology covered for various UL, SAE, and IEC standards centered on electric vehicle charging use. Further, the paper will discuss the certification aspects of these standards, such as where the standards are applicable and how certification is handled, within various global locations.
