Dominant design in charging infrastructure: Identification of technological paradigm.

The movement for transition to electrically powered vehicles is already here, however we are at the beginning of the road. As we face many technological challenges along the way, numerous improvements are needed in key sectors to boost the process. In the long term, lowering the cost of electric cars, increasing their efficiency-range and expanding the availability of charging infrastructure are all considered critical components of increasing customer acceptance. This paper will concentrate mainly on the later concept. The advancement of charging infrastructure is critical in finalizing this shift since it continues to be one of the primary disadvantages of EV technology compared to petrol stations. To close the gap common interoperability standards and protocols should come to existence internationally. First part of the report will analyze current trends and developments in electric vehicle market and its effect on charging infrastructure. In the second part common methodology to early identification of dominant design in charging stations will be developed.
