    Abstract - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    Specifies the electric vehicle requirements for conductive connection to an a.c. or d.c. supply for a.c. voltages according to IEC 60038 up to 690 V and for d.c. voltages up to up to 1000 V when the electric vehicle is connected to the supply network.

    Scope - (Show below) - (Hide below)

    This part of IEC 61851 together with part 1 gives the electric vehicle requirements for conductive connection to an a.c. or d.c. supply, for a.c. voltages according to IEC 60038 up to 690 V and for d.c. voltages up to 1 000 V, when the electric vehicle is connected to the supply network.

    This publication is of high relevance for Smart Grid.
