23IND06 Met4EVCS

Metrology for electric vehicle charging systems

Electrical Vehicles (EVs) are the core of the European Commission’s transition plan for the transport sector towards electromobility. The successful integration of EVs requires the deployment of an extensive infrastructure for EV charging stations (EVCSs) that covers the overall charging needs of consumers.

This three-year project, that started in July 2024, will tackle the challenges of power quality effects on and as a result of EVCSs, and evaluate the associated losses and reliability of metering under actual on-site conditions. The project aims to cover several charging modes, such as direct DC charging at low and high power, smart charging, and bi-directional charging. The project will support the industry needs by developing a metrology infrastructure for traceable testing of EV charging systems, which remains a major bottleneck.
