EV Regulatory Update

October 2025 Gaps Progress Report on ANSI EVSP 2023 Roadmap By the
ANSI Electric Vehicles Standards Panel (EVSP)
Contact Craig for draft copy.

The “Oct 2025 EVSP Roadmap Gaps Progress Report” is a comprehensive update on the progress of standards development and the gaps remaining in the electric vehicle (EV) ecosystem, covering vehicle systems, charging infrastructure, grid integration, and cybersecurity. The report organizes 37 priority gaps in these domains, assesses updates since the 2023 roadmap, and offers detailed recommendations to address major challenges facing large-scale EV deployment.

Key Sections and Focus Areas

Vehicle Systems: High-priority gaps are centered on lithium-ion battery safety, delayed battery thermal events, storage and transport, design for recyclability, and secondary battery uses. The report highlights the lack of standards for the safe storage of damaged batteries, packaging for transport, and design features supporting recycling. Recommendations include ongoing work with NHTSA, SAE, and others, and efforts to advance standards for battery reuse and tracking.
Charging Infrastructure: Emphasizes interoperability for plugs, chargers, and vehicles, including standards for megawatt charging systems for heavy-duty EVs, static and dynamic wireless charging, electromagnetic compatibility, and fire protection in older buildings. Progress on key standards (e.g., UL 2278, UL 2202, UL 2750) is noted, but additional work is needed on interoperability and cable management.
Grid Integration: Focuses on communication protocols, error code standardization, locating and reserving charging stations, quantitative measurement of DC power delivery, dynamic capacity management, and integration with utilities. The gaps report calls for better standards for sub-metering, V2G services, and unified communications between grid operators, vehicles, and energy service providers.
Cybersecurity: Highlights the critical need for comprehensive cybersecurity across the EV charging ecosystem, including secure trust chains, data privacy, robust security-by-design, and secure firmware updates. Standards such as IEC 62443, IEEE 1547.3, and the UL 2900 series are referenced, but gaps remain in end-to-end encryption, physical vulnerabilities, and protection against new threat vectors.

Main Recommendations

Accelerate standards development for high-priority gaps in battery safety, charging interoperability, cybersecurity, and grid data integration.
Encourage coordinated efforts among standards organizations (SAE, UL, IEC, NEMA, NFPA, etc.) to address emerging issues, including new uses for batteries, dynamic wireless charging, and secure data exchange.
Urge creation of guidelines for fire protection in legacy structures, cable management in public charging spaces, and secondary battery tracking technologies.
Promote comprehensive reviews of cybersecurity codes and standards, data privacy protocols, and robust design principles for all elements of the EV ecosystem.

Overarching Themes

The EVSP views this roadmap as a living document, updated as standards mature and new gaps are identified.
Feedback is actively solicited on new and evolving gaps, and the document includes mechanisms for contributors to suggest updates directly to ANSI.
Recent standards and in-progress development efforts are cataloged, and cross-references to international and national regulatory initiatives are provided to guide future work.

This report is essential for understanding the challenges and priorities in scaling EV adoption, directing attention to the highest-impact gaps in safety, interoperability, and security, and mapping the collaborative efforts needed among industry, regulators, and standards bodies.
