  • Call for experts – Electromobility

    ECOS is looking for experts in the field of electromobility to represent and defend environmental interests in the development of standards and related policies. Our experts provide us with technical and scientific input and represent ECOS in standardisation processes and multi-stakeholder discussions.

  • ECOS & RAP Briefing: Standards for EV smart charging: A guide for local authorities planning for future-proof charging infrastructure in cities

    How can local authorities deploy a future-proof, robust smart charging network? To launch the right public procurements, they need to be aware of developments in regulation and technical standards. Ensuring that cities can take these standardisation developments into account when procuring charging infrastructure is the purpose of this report.

  • Electric vehicle smart charging is the key to a sustainable grid – Read our new briefing!

    With an increase in electro-mobility expected in the coming years, it is important to ensure that the power grid remains stable and avoid an unmanaged charging of electric vehicles. Thanks to “smart charging”, EVs adapt to both user preferences and the conditions of the power system, secure the stability of the grid, reduce renewable energy curtailment, at the same time allowing higher shares of renewable energy. Smart charging helps reduce the need for expensive grid reinforcement and additional stationary batteries.
