CharIN Whitepaper Megawatt Charging System (MCS)

2024-01-23T14:38:29-05:00

This white paper gives an overview of several technical and non-technical aspects of the Megawatt Charging System (MCS), as discussed within the CharIN Subgroup since 2018. As a descriptive summary, it provides the achievements in preparing general design aspects of an MCS. For further development this document also provides recommended MCS specifications for adoption by Standards Development Organizations (SDOs).

Roadmap of Standards and Codes for Electric Vehicles at Scale

2023-07-20T09:59:24-04:00

Building on the earlier ANSI EVSP work, this roadmap seeks to describe the current and desired future standardization landscape that will support and facilitate EVs at scale. It 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 (R&D) where needed. It also includes identification of prioritized timeframes for when standardization work should occur and SDOs or other organizations that may be able to lead such work.

The Costs of EV Fast Charging Infrastructure and Economic Benefits to Rapid Scale-Up

2020-05-28T14:07:57-04:00

This paper examines ways that public and private stakeholders can work together to better understand and tackle the oft-overlooked costs and benefits of public fast charging infrastructure that is accessible to all. While electricity remains the largest cost driver, the full stack of costs also includes equipment at the early stage of a technology adoption curve, construction and installation costs, ongoing networking and maintenance costs, among other factors.
