CharIN Whitepaper Megawatt Charging System (MCS)

2024-01-23T14:38:29-05:00

This white paper gives an overview of several technical and non-technical aspects of the Megawatt Charging System (MCS), as discussed within the CharIN Subgroup since 2018. As a descriptive summary, it provides the achievements in preparing general design aspects of an MCS. For further development this document also provides recommended MCS specifications for adoption by Standards Development Organizations (SDOs).

Implementation Guide for Minimum Required Error Codes in Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

2023-12-14T14:09:28-05:00

The objective of this report is to provide a guide that accelerates the MREC adoption proposed by the ChargeX consortium, ensuring consistent error reporting, interpretation, and diagnostics across the North American EV charging landscape. This guide builds upon the MRECs report to improve EV charging reliability by streamlining error reporting and transmission processes via OCPP.

Charging Forward: A Toolkit for Planning and Funding Urban Electric Mobility Infrastructure

2023-07-06T12:33:50-04:00

The Urban Electric Mobility Toolkit serves as a one-stop resource to help urban communities scope, plan, and identify ways to fund electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, supporting diverse forms of electric mobility including travel by personal vehicle, transit, micromobility (e.g., electric bicycles and scooters), and ride-sharing services. Urban communities, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), transportation providers, businesses, and property owners and developers can use the toolkit to identify key partners for an electric charging project, take advantage of relevant planning tools, and identify available funding or financing to help make that project a reality.
