Technical professional organisation IEEE, US, has announced that the IEEE Standards Association (IEEE-SA) is collaborating with DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung e. V.), the German Institute for Standardisation, and SAE International, the global body of engineers and technical professionals developing volunteer consensus standards for passenger cars, in organising a new event. The event will explore how standards are driving innovation in electric vehicles (EV) and charging infrastructure globally, lessons learned from the field of 'electromobility' standards implementation and gaps where standards are needed to propel the EV market to its next stage of growth. The International eMobility Standards Symposium is scheduled to take place on February 18, 2013 at the Hilton Anaheim, California.
According to SAE International, standards developed collaboratively across various sectors and regions will assist in creating the type of experience and will lay foundation for more advanced solutions of the future. A conference also organised by three prominent standards-development organisations (SDOs) such as DIN, IEEE and SAE is expected to enable and promote that collaboration.
All three organisations have reportedly made significant contributions in standards in areas such as EVs, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) communications, power and the smart grid.
The target audience for the symposium spans original equipment manufacturer (OEM) design engineers, battery manufacturers, tyre and component suppliers. The others include product-design engineers for light-, medium- and heavy-duty vehicles, infrastructure suppliers (such as for charging stations), researchers; governments, utilities, and other SDOs.

The International eMobility Standards Symposium will take place the day before the SAE 2013 Hybrid & Electric Vehicle Technologies Symposium which is also held at the Hilton Anaheim and is now in its 10th year.
