Argonne Assembles Electric Vehicle Experts to Create Better Experiences at Charging Stations

More public charging stations will help reduce EV range anxiety, and other solutions are also emerging .

A task force at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory has brought together scientists, software developers, vehicle manufacturers, other national labs and industry partners to address a priority for electric vehicle drivers: making sure the charging technology works. The process of accessing a charging app, swiping a card through a reader, plugging the charging cord into the outlet and waiting for theto charge should be a seamless experience for users. Every step depends on interoperability — the interaction between electric vehicle chargers and vehicles.

When an electric vehicle driver plugs in, all the technologies involved — the app, the charging station, the payment system server and the vehicle itself — should all communicate reliably with one another, regardless of what company manufactured them.

The Task Force has currently outlined 16 distinct testing categories, each with its own subset of detailed test scenarios. These scenarios consider what a user might experience in the real world, including a wide variety of both ​“happy-path” and ​“edge-case” testing. ​“For example, whether you pay first or plug first, or use smart charging features. We are looking to capture as many of these unique scenarios as possible,” Thurston explained.

“There was major interest from those participating in bringing this document to their technical groups for future collaboration, which was very exciting,” he added.
