ANSI Electric Vehicles Standards Panel Releases New Report
ANSI Electric Vehicles Standards Panel Releases New Report
In a significant step towards enhancing the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) and their infrastructure, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) has unveiled the May 2025 Gaps Progress Report. This report is integral to understanding the collaborative efforts being made by various stakeholders to bridge the identified gaps in standards for EV implementation across the country.
Key Insights from the Gaps Progress Report
The Gaps Progress Report reflects ongoing efforts by standards developing organizations (SDOs) and other contributors. A notable aspect of this publication is its focus on the gaps in the earlier established Roadmap of Standards and Codes for Electric Vehicles at Scale, which laid out critical pathways for EV integration. In total, the roadmap identified 37 distinct gaps, which included comprehensive recommendations across various domains such as vehicle systems, charging infrastructure, grid integration, and cybersecurity.
Prioritization of Gaps
Out of these 37 gaps, stakeholders have prioritized 14 as high priority, 20 as medium priority, and three as low priority. This prioritization enables focused attention on the most pressing issues affecting the deployment of electric vehicles. Furthermore, 23 instances were cited where pre-standardization research and development activities were deemed necessary, underscoring the commitment of the EV community to continual improvement.
The Role of ANSI in EV Standardization
The ANSI Electric Vehicles Standards Panel (EVSP) plays a pivotal role as a coordinating entity, bringing together various public and private sector stakeholders to collaborate on standardization matters. While the EVSP does not develop standards itself, it fosters an environment for cooperation crucial for the widespread adoption and safety of electric vehicles. By acting as a bridge, ANSI ensures that there is alignment among different stakeholders involved in EV infrastructure and safety.
Dynamic Nature of the Report
This Gaps Progress Report is described as a "living document," meaning it will evolve as standards development progresses. It will be periodically updated to reflect ongoing changes and developments within the EV landscape. This flexibility ensures that the report remains relevant and effectively addresses the dynamic needs of the industry.
Future Expectations and Community Involvement
The next iteration of the Gaps Progress Report is slated for release in the fall, further demonstrating ANSI's proactive approach in engaging with the community. Stakeholders and interested parties are encouraged to provide input on the document, suggest edits, or engage in EVSP activities to shape the future of electric vehicle standardization.
For those interested in receiving updates or becoming involved in the evolving landscape of EV standards, communication avenues are established for feedback and contributions.
