Overview of Electric Vehicle Charging Standards

With the introduction of the "new infrastructure" policy, the construction of electric vehicle charging piles has been accelerated in China. However, due to the current inconsistency of charging standards in different cities, the charging convenience and large-scale development of electric vehicles have been limited. This paper introduces the existing electric vehicle charging standards, compares and analyzes the differences of charging standards at home and abroad, and discusses the future development trend of charging standards in details.

I. Introduction

Driven by the "new infrastructure" policy, the number of charging piles will continue to increase in the future [1]. Since the new energy vehicle industry is still in a period of rapid development, the formulation of relevant standards is not perfect. For the field of electric vehicle charging, it is still in a state of more standards and more clutter. Different brands of electric vehicle charging devices and charging technologies cannot be shared [2], which restricts the large-scale development of electric vehicles.
