Standardization Means Innovation
06/09/2010
The EnergyBus organization is working since 2007 to develop a standard for LEV components consisting of a high quality connector family to connect all electronic components of LEVs and the respective communication protocol. Since this year, the EnergyBus standard, the EBS if you like, made considerate progress, with a first set of connectors that is ready to go into production and the protocol in version 1.0 coming into its final shape. Not a minute too late, some might say, as the LEV market has seen ample growth in the last two years, while an universally applicable standard is still missing.

Attention: IEC Plug – More Recalls Expected
01/22/2009
ZEG's electric bike recall--because of unsuitable connectors--will not be alone. True: IEC plugs (AC power plugs) are common for e-bikes in China, but illegal in Europe. Why? And what will ExtraEnergy do about estimated 100,000 electric bikes in Europe using unsuitable plugs?
