Leading international EV stakeholders work to Standardise EV Charging

Emerging EV charging product developer, Chargestorm will be showcasing the Charge Controller Unit (CCU), a system that has the capability to measure current consumption of the vehicle charger and to provide access control to the charger station. It also generates information for authentication, authorization and accounting. German based technology supplier, Cinterion, also plan to unveil their latest grid-to-grid communication technology to utilise in the development of efficient charging
post communications.

Advanced technological products and EV charging solutions will be showcased to event attendees. Highlights include exclusive presentations from Takfumi Anegawa, Group Head of Mobility
Technology, TEPCO and Ron Cheung CLP Power Hong Kong who will be sharing their expertise on fast charging and the subsequent infrastructure impacts.

Senior executives from every major EV stakeholder industry including, EDF, EON, BMW, Renault, TEPCO, Think, Galve, CLP Power, Daimler, ACEA, CEZ, REE (as an example) will also be at the meeting in London.

The uncertainty surrounding the standardisation of electric vehicle charging plugs and sockets is hindering the roll out of charging point networks and delaying the development of an integrated international charging infrastructure. In order to mass-release electric vehicles into the consumer market, a standardised infrastructure must exist to support consumer use of EVs. The repercussions of releasing electric vehicles with non-standardised charging systems include decreased vehicle range, decreased consumer uptake and unpredictable load impacts on the national grid.
