To facilitate the large scale introduction of electric cars into the market while ensuring that the technologies and infrastructure are safe and effective, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has formed a cross-sector Electric Vehicles Standards Panel (EVSP).
The EVSP is seeking participants with relative expertise and interest to begin developing a standardizations roadmap to enable the safe, mass deployment of electric cars and their associated infrastructure.
It was determined that there needs to be a coordinated approach to keep pace with electric cars initiatives and the EVSP will provide a mechanism to foster coordination and collaboration among public and private sector stakeholders such as industry, government agencies, utilities, standards and conformity assessment organizations.
ANSI previously has convened standards panels in diverse areas such as homeland security, healthcare information technology, and nanotechnology.
