Advancing Green Mobility: Ensuring Conformance and Interoperability in Electric Vehicle Charging Standards

The focus of the initiative is on advancing green mobility and energy, specifically targeting CO2-efficient transportation solutions. The organization works with various electric vehicles (EVs), including air vehicles, motorcycles, motor rail stations, and emphasizes innovation in connected development. They have developed a charging system using three pads to enhance usability but acknowledge existing challenges like charging failures that affect user experience. To address these issues, they are conducting reliability testing to ensure consistent performance across manufacturers' products. Since 2020, efforts have been directed towards establishing conformance testing programs for both EVs and Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) to guarantee proper functionality according to established standards. This involves multiple steps from basic features integration up through advanced smart technologies like ISO 15118 S20 DAC vehicle communication protocols. They collaborate closely with standardization bodies to resolve inconsistencies between different standards while maintaining impartiality in their validation processes through certified laboratories. Ultimately, this ensures interoperability and reliable operation for end-users during the entire charging process.

Photovoltaic prices have fallen continuously in recent years - a trend that should translate into a growing market for off-grid solutions. Declining costs are crucial for rural electrification in particular, making sustainable energy supply economically viable in remote regions. However, so far many of these price advantages have not yet reached the people that need them most. Do existing framework conditions to foster rural electrification still work in this new market reality? Which measures are needed to ensure that cost reductions reach our target group? This session discusses strategies for improving the availability of low-cost off-grid solutions, financing and innovative business models. A look at successful practical examples shows which political, economic and technological levers need to be pulled to make off-grid PV accessible on a large scale.
