About the Project

Electric vehicles play an important role in the decarbonisation of the transportation sector. However, the time needed to re-charge the battery is a barrier to a widespread use of electric vehicles. Stan4SWAP aims to develop a standardization roadmap towards facilitating the use of swapable battery systems for light category vehicles, to facilitate the decarbonisation of urban mobility.

Objectives

Identification of needs for Pre-Normative Research work in the context of swapable battery systems for light-category vehicles

Increase stakeholders' engagement establishing an active dialogue between the standardization community, industry and research

Prioritizing standardization activities towards supporting the deployment swappable battery systems for L-cat vehicles

Educating and raising awareness about the role of standardization in supporting the decarbonization of mobility and transportation ecosystem

"Our goal is to reach a standard that ensures the interoperability of batteries among various vehicles and swapping stations. This will not only reduce charging time but also lower costs for end-users. Additionally, it will facilitate the re-use and re-purposing of batteries for a second life, aligned with the circular economy approach."
