Harmonising Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment Connections and Service and Installation Rules
Energy Networks Australia commissioned Blunomy to identify variances in Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) connection standards and related Service and Installation Rules (SIRs) across Australia, seek views from the EV charging industry on how to streamline connections, and identify pathways towards a better, harmonised approach.
The Australian National Electric Vehicle Strategy highlighted the need for harmonisation of connection standards to support Electric Vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure development and, thereby, the widespread adoption of EVs. This report brings together insights from desktop research, stakeholder interviews, and analysis of Service and Installation Rules (SIRs) and connection standards across Australia. It identifies similarities and variances in EV connection standards across different jurisdictions, and sets out next steps to be pursued by Energy Networks Australia (ENA) and its members to achieve a better, more harmonised approach.
