Electric Driver Battery Pack System Functional Guidelines

Electric Vehicle Forum Committee

The Electric Vehicle Forum Committee is intended to coordinate the development of standards for electric vehicles and supporting electric propulsion technologies such as batteries. In support of this goal, the Committee identifies areas where standards are needed, works with existing committees to develop such standards or modify existing standards where practical, and establishes subcommittees and/or task forces to prepare information reports, recommended practices or standards which are specific to electric vehicle. This Committee has included coordination of the development of standards for Hybrid-Electric Vehicles and Fuel Cells. International Cooperation: The committee or its subsidiary groups have formal liaison established with IEC TC69 (Electric Road Vehicles), for which SAE holds the International Administrative Secretariat, with Craig Toepfer of Ford as secretary and SAE Staff as Assistant Secretary, ISO TC22/SC21 with Gregory Nieminski of UL as U. S. TAG Chairman and SAE staff as U.S. TAG Administrator (Electric Road Vehicles), the Japanese Electric Vehicle Association (JEVA), and Battery Council International.
