Ecodesign Preparatory Study for Electric Vehicles Chargers

The European Commission (DG GROW) launched a preparatory ecodesign study for chargers for electric vehicles. This study will be carried out by Fraunhofer ISI and VITO within the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation context. Aim of the study is to analyse the feasibility of sustainability requirements for EV chargers.

For this purpose, the study comprises the following activities: 

• Conduct an Ecodesign preparatory study analysing the technical, economic, environmental, market and societal aspects of electric vehicles recharging stations following the revised MEErP methodology Tasks 1-7;
• Based on the findings of the study, where appropriate, provide input and support to the development of draft proposal of Ecodesign Regulation and/or Energy Energy Labelling Regulation for electric vehicles chargers.
• Provide ad-hoc technical expertise.

The study was started in December 2023 and will be completed in May 2025.
