CharIN and ElaadNL are joining forces to advance smart, sustainable and interoperable electric vehicle charging. Their Memorandum of Under standing focuses on vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and grid integra tion, combining CharIN’s expertise in charging standards with ElaadNL’s research and testing experience through knowledge exchange, joint events and coordinated outreach.
The Charging Interface Initiative (CharIN) e. V. and ElaadNL have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance smart, sustainable and interoperable charging across transport sectors. The cooperation places particular emphasis on vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology and the integration of electric vehicles into the power grid.
The agreement brings together CharIN’s international network and expertise in charging standards and interoperability with ElaadNL’s research and practical testing experience in smart charging and grid integration. Together, the organizations aim to strengthen the exchange between the mobility and energy sectors and address barriers to the wider adoption of smart and bidirectional charging.
Under the MoU, CharIN and ElaadNL intend to exchange research findings, technical knowledge and practical experience, organize joint events and workshops, and work together to identify and overcome technical, operational and regulatory barriers to electric vehicle charging. V2G enables compatible electric vehicles to return electricity from their batteries to the power grid. Realizing its potential requires reliable interaction between vehicles, charging infrastructure and the electricity system. The cooperation will provide a framework for sharing expertise on these interfaces and the conditions needed for their practical implementation.
“Interoperability is essential to connecting e-mobility with the energy system. Through our cooperation with ElaadNL, we aim to bring expertise in charging standards together with practical knowledge of grid integration. This exchange will help us address barriers to smart and bidirectional charging and support reliable solutions across vehicles, charging infrastructure and power grids.”
The organizations also intend to coordinate communication and outreach on topics of mutual interest. This includes promoting consistent terminology and clear messaging around electric vehicle charging, grid integration and V2G, helping stakeholders build a shared understanding of the technologies and their applications.
The MoU establishes a framework for the intended cooperation. Specific activities and the contributions of each organization will be agreed separately.
“Our collaboration with CharIN has grown over many years through joint Testivals, practical testing and the exchange of technical expertise. This agreement marks a natural deepening of that relationship. By combining CharIN’s international network and standards expertise with ElaadNL’s knowledge of testing and grid integration, we can jointly accelerate the practical Press Release implementation of interoperable smart and bidirectional charging.”
CharIN is a global association of vehicle manufacturers, energy providers, com ponent suppliers, and charging station developers united by a shared mission: to establish the Combined Charging System (CCS), the Megawatt Charging System (MCS), and the North American Charging System (NACS) as the global charging standards for charging all types of battery-electric vehicles. Together, CharIN members drive the development of interoperable charging solutions to ensure a reliable, seamless, and user-friendly charging experience. Representing around 280 leading e-mobility stakeholders across the entire EV value chain, CharIN invites participation from all interested parties. With a strong global presence and offices around the world, CharIN is in charge of shap ing the future of e-mobility.
