Standardisation in Europe

• DG Enterprise gave a mandate to CEN/CENELEC to perform and
establish a worldwide EC standard for plug and interfaces to the
grid. Two workshops took place, the latest on 18 May 2010.

• The OEMs, supply industry and public bodies in Germany and
France agreed on an e-mobility standard (2010).
Standardization activities were already performed in Germany in
2001.

• Standards in administration and billing (roaming services) are
created in a platform through the IP EURIDICE (EWSP =
European Wide Service Platforms).

• Now it is time to speed up in Europe for standards to get
leadership

• The support action ICT4FEV coordinated by VDI is also
addressing this topic.
