Abstract

This paper focuses on committee–market standards battles for the case of vehicle-to-grid technology in Europe. In this battle, standards such as CHArge de MOve (CHAdeMO) and Combined Charging System (CCS) Combo are competing. The paper identifies relevant factors with the help of a literature review and expert interviews. Furthermore, the importance weights were established for the factors. The paper ends with a discussion and conclusion in which the theoretical contributions, practical implications, limitations, and recommendations for further research are discussed.

Highlights

Based on the literature review and expert interviews, a total of 35 factors were found to be relevant to standard success in committee–market standards battles for V2G technology
This list of factors was further classified into seven categories, partly based on previous categorizations for factors for standard dominance in Van de Kaa et al (2011, 2020) [20,36]
Financial strength Financial strength refers to the financial resources needed to commercialize a standard successfully
