1, 2023: ANSI recently released a draft of the Roadmap of Standards and Codes for Electric Vehicles at Scale
developed by the Institute’s Electric Vehicles Standards Panel (EVSP). The
roadmap identifies key safety, performance, and interoperability issues; notes
relevant published and in-development standards; and makes recommendations to
address gaps in codes and standards. This includes recommending
pre-standardization research and development where needed.
