The ANSI Electric Vehicles Standards Panel (EVSP) is a cross-sector coordinating body whose objective is to foster coordination and collaboration on standardization matters among public- and private-sector stakeholders to enable the safe, mass deployment of electric vehicles (EVs) and associated infrastructure in the United States with international coordination, adaptability, and engagement. The ANSI EVSP does not develop standards; rather, it serves as a forum for facilitating coordination among standards developing organizations (SDOs) and others.
On June 15, 2023, ANSI announced the publication of the Roadmap of Standards and Codes for Electric Vehicles at Scale developed by the EVSP. The roadmap’s primary focus is on light-duty, on-road plug-in EVs that are recharged via a connection to the electrical grid, as well as the supporting charging infrastructure needed to power them. Medium and heavy-duty EVs are also covered, as is wireless charging. A total of 37 standardization gaps are identified with corresponding recommendations across the topical areas of vehicle systems, charging infrastructure, grid integration, and cybersecurity. It is hoped that the roadmap will see broad adoption by the user community and will facilitate a more coherent and coordinated approach to the future development of standards for EVs.
The target audience for the roadmap includes vehicle manufacturers; entities that will be installing and operating charging infrastructure; SDOs; U.S. federal, state, and municipal government agencies; electric utilities; and others.
The EVSP roadmap describes 37 gaps where no published standard currently exists to respond to a particular industry need. When an organization initiates or completes research, standards, codes, or conformity assessment activities in a specific area identified in one of those gaps, an update is captured in the Gaps Progress Report. The current report was published in May 2025 and the next report is expected in fall 2025.
Approximately 80 individuals from 130 public- and private-sector organizations supported the roadmap’s development, including U.S. federal government agencies and national laboratories, standards developing organizations (SDOs), industry, academia, and others.

ANSI extends its appreciation to the following organizations for their generous sponsorship towards the development of the 2023 EVSP roadmap:
UL Standards & Engagement, UL Research Institutes, and UL Solutions are three distinct organizations united by a shared mission of working for a safer world. Together, we seek to produce new knowledge and act to make existing technologies safer while striving to mitigate risks in the earliest stages of technological advancement.
To see how UL standards help ensure safety, security, and sustainability for the products and systems that we interact with daily, visit https://explorestandards.ul.org/virtual-community.html and interact with our Virtual Community, including the electric vehicle.
Kiosk Manufacturer Association (KMA) is a global organization focused on the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), accessibility, and electric motor vehicles (EMV) in the legislative arena.
