EC to ensure electric vehicles charger interoperability

The European Commission has handed on June 2010 a mandate for the development of relevent standards on  common charging system for electric cars, scooters and bicycles to the European Standardisation Organisations bodies, CEN-CENELEC and ETSI. Thanks to this mandate plugs and connectors will use the same standard all across Europe, providing a true European solution independently of brands or countries. The Commission expects that the standard will be ready by mid-2011.
On June 29th 2010,  European Commission Vice-President Antonio Tajani handed a European Commission mandate for the development of the relevant standard for electric vehicles chargers to the President of CEN-CENELEC David Dossett, CEN-CENELEC´s Director General Elena Santiago Cid and European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) General Assembly Chair John Philips. These new standards are aimed to ensure that all types of electric vehicles and their batteries are charged both safely and easily in all EU Member States.
