Harmonised standards for electric vehicle charging and safety could soon be established in Europe after industry ministers in an EU Competitiveness Council meeting in Brussels voiced their support for the European Commission’s strategy.

They also want the standardisation to consider smart charging and to take into account technical solutions and ongoing work at international standardisation bodies.Read the motion for a resolution.
