Through technical screening and product qualification, EVCAN’s technical requirements help to align utility expectations for manufacturers and network providers to scale reliable, standards-based charging solutions. Our forthcoming Qualified Product List (QPL) offers a clear, impartial pathway to support broad market participation.
The EV charging market is growing rapidly, and so are the demands on manufacturers, network providers, and charge point operators to deliver interoperable, reliable, and cost-effective solutions. But navigating fragmented program requirements, evolving standards, and diverse incentives adds unnecessary complexity that slows your path to market.
EVCAN supports alignment between utility customer programs and manufacturer capabilities through technical policy development and product qualification. Through shared experiences in program implementation, we encourage charging solutions that are flexible for grid conditions, interoperable, and easier to deploy at scale.
We’re also laying the groundwork for deeper industry collaboration through partnerships with advocacy groups and forums for sharing best practices to advance interoperability and energy management across the ecosystem.
As the EV market grows, so do expectations for seamless charging experiences. Greater interoperability between hardware, software, and utility systems improves driver satisfaction, increases access across diverse communities, and helps accelerate infrastructure deployment, even in more complex or constrained environments.
For manufacturers and network providers, interoperability is more than a technical checkbox—it’s a way to unlock new market opportunities, streamline operations and maintenance, and stay aligned with evolving utility programs. EVCAN supports the use of proven approaches to system compatibility and performance tha help future-proof your product line and reduce program risk.
We develop clear, objective technical specifications based on the latest standards to promote consistent utility program criteria for EV charging technologies. Through our stakeholder input process , we work to bring the voice of Industry into the development process.
We bridge conversations with utility program staff to clarify expectations, advocate for consistent program technical criteria, and foster conversations on gaps in standardization.
We qualify charge management systems against standards for interoperability, reliability, and safety and to build industry visibility on equipment performance expectations.
Implementing EV charging infrastructure projects means navigating requirements from thousands of electric utilities and countless local and state government agencies. Each project may involve a different set of technical and compliance hurdles. EVCAN endeavors to minimize that complexity by establishing consistent technical criteria for utility programs that’s grounded in publicly reviewed specifications and aligned with North American standards and best practices.
Our experience in the LED lighting industry showed us that transparent evaluation processes and consistent technical requirements based on industry standards accelerates adoption and reduces market confusion. We bring that same commitment to the EV charging ecosystem—ensuring industry voices are heard while advocating for solutions that serve utilities, communities, and end users alike.
Manufacturers and network providers play a critical role in building EV charging solutions that work at scale. Your participation in EVCAN’s public QPL and technical specifications process helps ensure clean transportation programs are interoperable, reliable, and ready for deployment.
