Electric Vehicle (EV) Charging Infrastructure Services

Certification for EV infrastructure 

EV chargers are rapidly increasing as EV demand rises. Globally, the EV charging infrastructure industry is expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 46.8 percent from 2017 to 2025, reaching $45.59 billion in revenue by 2025.¹ You can help fuel this demand by developing EV infrastructure components that meet emerging standards for safety and performance, as well as interoperability with smart grid technologies. 

We currently offer certification for EV infrastructure components, including:
