US Joint Office believes standardisation needed to enhance EV charging experience

The Joint Office has hundreds of millions of dollars at its disposal to help standardise the EV charging experience. It might have just as many moving parts to assemble.

The Joint Office – technically, the Joint Office of Energy and Transportation – was created through the U.S. Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. It’s a governmental agency tasked with leveraging all the EV dollars, experts (inside and outside of government) and competing interests.

Leading the office is executive director Gabe Klein. Watch this video Q&A session with Klein on how the Joint Office is supporting the Biden administration goals in opening up the diversity of EV chargers and connectors to more vehicles.

Among his statements: The Biden administration will not mandate CCS or NACS “or anything like that. It's really industry that needs to settle on the direction they want to go.”
