Evaluating an integrated EV charging/energy storage system (EVV) once required manufacturers to obtain multiple listings. Testing to UL 3202 is a unified method for evaluating the interoperability, safety, and performance of an integrated EV/ESS.
What is an integrated EV charging/ESS?
An integrated EV charging/ESS product consists of EV supply equipment that features integral energy storage components. This enables them to store electrical power generated by off-grid sources. When designed to be moveable, ESS-equipped chargers can be relocated to areas of greatest need, such as storm-impacted areas experiencing power outages or rural areas with insufficient utility infrastructure. Integrated EV charging/ESS products can be powered by more than one source and may have the capability to connect to utility power source during or between uses.
Why is an integrated EV charging/ESS standard needed?
The electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) market could grow from $7 billion today to $100 billion by 2040 at a 15% compound annual growth rate1. But the adoption of EVs will not truly succeed without establishing customer and stakeholder trust in EV charging equipment safety and performance.
UL 3202 – Outline of Investigation for Mobile Electric Vehicle Charging Systems Integrated with Energy Storage Systems is the provisional standard that unifies requirements of several EV charger-related standards to assess the construction, performance, and marking of integrated EV charging/ESS products.
Manufacturers can now obtain integrated EV charger/ESS compliance with a single UL certification.
