Q&A with Erika Myers, Executive Director CharIN Inc.: Testing and Refining EV Charging Standards

Erika Myers, Executive Director CharIN Inc., shares valuable insights in the Charged EV Fleet & Infrastrucutre News.

  • While it isn’t a standards development organization per se, CharIN works with standards bodies and firms in the EV charging industry to help refine new standards, and to test vehicles and EVSE for interoperability.
  • CharIN’s North America Charging Interoperability Task Force, which currently has over 300 members, is working to help standardize Tesla’s NACS charging system (aka SAE J3400).
  • CharIN is working closely with ChargeX, SAE and a range of EVSE firms to establish a set of common error codes as a tool to improve the reliability of public charging infrastructure.
  • CharIN is also at the center of efforts to finalize the Megawatt Charging System, which is expected to be a game-changer for heavy-duty EV charging, and to develop standards for other up-and-coming technologies such as V2G and Plug & Charge.
