For Germany to improve on its competitive edge in the international electromobility market, and to ensure that the development and added value of this technology remains in this country, a major focus must be placed on furthering and bundling these developments, and the interests behind them, at an early stage. If German industry is to position itself successfully, it is essential that the positive effects of standardization be incorporated into the development process right from the start so that they can be fully exploited.

Standardization in the field of electromobility is characterized by several features distinguishing it from previous standardization processes. Here, the challenge lies in coordinating and integrating diverse activities in different sectors in order to effectively meet demands.
