Description

This is a study of plug-in electric vehicles connectivity conditions. These PEV “connectivity conditions” such as current electric grid configurations and policies, standards and regulations for infrastructure and markets have a direct bearing on trade of PEVs and charging equipment between markets.
 
These connectivity conditions govern how PEV equipment may be used, and regional differences in connectivity conditions can thereby create barriers to trade between markets and impede PEV uptake across the Asia-Pacific region.
