CEN在电动汽车电源统一标签上采用新标准

可持续性从小事开始。有了这个信念，激发了欧盟成为可持续发展领导者的雄心，CEN最近采用了一项新的标准，为全欧洲的电动汽车充电提供便利。

最近通过的EN 17186:2019“识别车辆和基础设施兼容性——电动汽车电源消费者信息的图形表达”建立了统一的标签，以表明电动道路车辆的电源。新标签的目的是简化司机收到的关于充电站、电缆组件和他们的车辆之间兼容性的信息，在整个欧洲提供一种通用语言。由于这个原因，该标准针对的是广泛的利益相关者，因为标签将不得不暴露在充电站、汽车、电动汽车经销商和消费者手册上。

欧洲计划在2021年2月之前在新电动汽车和电动汽车供电所上安装新标签。最终的目标是促进越来越多的电动汽车司机，并维持这一创新和可持续的技术。

Sustainability starts from the small things. With this belief, that animates the EU’s ambition to be a leader in sustainability, a new standard has been recently adopted by CEN to facilitate the charging of electric cars all around Europe.   

Recently approved EN 17186:2019 'Identification of vehicles and infrastructures compatibility - Graphical expression for consumer information on EV power supply' establishes harmonised labels to indicate power supply for electric road vehicles. The new labels aim at simplifying the information drivers receive regarding the compatibility between the charging stations, the cable assemblies and their vehicles, providing a common language all around Europe. For this reason, the standard targets a wide array of stakeholders, as the labels will have to be exposed on charging stations, vehicles, EV dealerships and consumer manuals.

EN 17186 has been developed in support of the implementation of Article 7 of Directive 2014/94/EU on ‘the deployment of alternative fuels infrastructure’. It follows the approach used for EN 16942:2016, which has recently entered into force all around the EU, dedicated to petrol-based fuels. 

The new labelling is based on the fact that power supply for electric vehicles uses vehicle inlets, socket-outlets, connectors and plugs. The aim is to distinguish among them and provide easy (and equal for all) guidance on the size, shape and other information of relevance for compatibility recognition.

The labels do that thanks to a simple symbol, a white or black hexagon with the C letter inside. Each one of them is associated to each kind of electric power supply: the main distinction is based on the supply method, whether it is based on vehicle connectors and inlets, or on plug and socket outlets. The new labels will look like this: harmonised labels for electric car power。 

The deployment of the new labels on new electrical vehicles and on power supply stations for electrical vehicles in Europe is planned to be achieved by February 2021. The final objective is to facilitate the increasing number of drivers of electric cars and sustain the upkeep of this innovative and sustainable technology.
