With plans popping up around the globe for various electric vehicle charging infrastructures it’s probably a good idea for all the EV manufacturers and charging stations to be on the same page. It wouldn’t be very convenient if you rolled into a charging station only to find out the damn charging plug doesn’t fit your car.

Fortunately the Society of Automotive Engineers is working on standardizing connector plugs for electric vehicles. The Society is meeting in Detroit next week to hash out what that standard should be.

The standardized EV plugs will not only allow all electric cars to plug in at any charging station but they will allow the station to see how “full” a battery is and charge and bill accordingly.
