Advancing E-Roaming in Europe: Towards a Single “Language” for the European Charging Infrastructure
The E.U. market for electric vehicles (EVs) is growing significantly, but the absence of widely adopted protocols and interoperability standards for charging hinders the development of cross-border EV travel (“e-roaming„). In this paper, we present our vision on what should be th...
