Electric Vehicles (EV) Type Approval, Safety Testing & Standards
SupplierBusiness, Sep 2010, Pages: 26
There are few aspects of a passenger car which are not subject to Type Approval or Safety Testing. But, despite this it is clear that some aspects necessary for complete coverage of the current automotive market are missing. Where are the standards for EVs?
For example:
- Standards covering the safe usage of high voltage batteries in a vehicle
- Standards for crash tests of vehicles with batteries
- Standardisation of EV charging connectors and cables.
The speed at which OEMs and their suppliers have embraced Electric and Hybrid vehicles (EVs and HEVs) in the past few years means that regulatory authorities have had to rapidly introduce new standards associated with this swiftly developing sector.
This briefing is designed to give executives a snapshot of the current situation in type approvals as they apply to EVs. The process is illustrated by way of a case study from TH!NK, the Norwegian OEM which has been working with electric passenger cars since 1973.
