vehicle that is (partly) electrically powered and operated

NOTE 1 to entry With respect to the TPEG requirements, other electric vehicles such as e-bikes are considered.

NOTE 2 to entry EV batteries can typically be charged at any regular power socket. In case fast charging is required, e.g. during longer journeys, higher demands on the technical infrastructure are made. Specific sockets and high-power connector cables have been developed to allow a simple and secure usage of boost charging stations. It is necessary for the end user to know which options are supported by a charging station. EVs may have an “identity” for electronic readout, e.g. by means of a certificate. Also, other information which can be communicated by an EV to the infrastructure may be relevant for the execution and planning of charging orders. The current battery charge condition, the power requirements during the charging procedure, as well as the cruising range are parameters that may be relevant for the planning of charging orders. The vehicle and charging station can communicate using a connector cable, but also other mechanisms are possible, e.g. using the back-end system of an EV manufacturer, to which an EV is connected (using mobile data connection).
