Abstract
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.
Highlights
The concept of electric vehicles, and electric vehicle charging, has been around for over 100 years, with the first electric vehicles dated back to the 1800’s
Since 2008, there has been an increase in the interest around electric vehicles
This drives the need for infrastructure to recharge the on board battery in these vehicles, and in turn, creates a need for safety standards that can address the recharging aspect of electric vehicles
Summary
The concept of electric vehicles, and electric vehicle charging, has been around for over 100 years, with the first electric vehicles dated back to the 1800’s. The developing and/or revising of existing standards into a more up-to-date and useable form became the main focus of infrastructure safety standards. This standards work was instrumental in supporting electric vehicle infrastructure in the marketplace and increasing installations of electric vehicle infrastructure such that the use of electric vehicles was supported moving forward. Additional standards development was needed; and since 2008, all of the electric vehicle infrastructure standards have been in some phase of revision. All of this change, revision, and updating leads to a need to determine what is required today and what will be required tomorrow for electric vehicle infrastructure.
