Tests, methods and administrative requirements for type-approval of in-vehicle battery durability of cars and vans

The European Association of National Metrology Institutes (EURAMET) is the Regional Metrology Organisation (RMO) of Europe with 38 member countries. It promotes European co-operation in the field of metrology for the development and application of measurement science and standards, and a globally recognised measurement infrastructure.

This initiative outlines the methods, tests and administrative requirements for type approval of cars and vans, focusing on: electric vehicle battery endurance electric vehicle low temperature power system extended on-board fuel consumption monitoring.

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed initiative. Please find our detailed feedback in the attached PDF document. In summary, TÜV-Verband welcomes the introduction of harmonised requirements for in-vehicle battery durability under Euro 7. However, we consider transparent and non-discriminatory access to the relevant reference data to be essential.

BEUC supports a swifter introduction of OBFCM parameters for PEVs, before 2030 (as initially intended), as consumers need clear information about the real-world range of electric vehicles. In light of the fast electrification of Europe's fleet, this is crucial for consumers to compare cars based on their performance.

The Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association, Inc. (JAMA) is a non-profit industry organization comprising Japan's 14 manufacturers of passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, trucks, buses and motorcycles. Please see the attached file for our comments.

CITA supports the introduction of harmonised battery durability requirements, as they will strengthen consumer confidence, support market surveillance, and facilitate the development of a reliable used electric vehicle market. To ensure effective implementation, key battery durability reference data and family identifiers should be made available in a transparent, standardised, and non-discriminatory manner.
