TÜV SÜD: Technologically mature charging systems for EV-infrastructure

Safe, simple and convenient charging of electric vehicles (EV) is possible today. Plug-in charging systems are ready for use and wireless charging stations are good alternatives for expanding the EV infrastructure. These are the results of a cooperation between TÜV SÜD and energy supplier E.ON, within the scope of which wired and wireless charging systems were tested over several months to determine whether they are safe, functional and suitable for everyday use. Today (Wednesday 14 September), the project partners presented their results at a press conference at the IAA in Frankfurt. Horst Schneider, Member of the Board of Management of TÜV SÜD AG, particularly welcomed the fact that German manufacturers have followed the example set by the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, ACEA, and adopted the Type 2 plug as the uniform standard for EV charging systems: "A uniform standard is important to ensure planning certainty, and thus rapid development in electromobility."
