China is reviewing three national standards for electric vehicle power batteries, a Chinese researcher said Wednesday at a forum in Beijing.

The three standards submitted concern the electric vehicle conductive charge coupler, communication protocols between battery management system and the off-board charger, and specification and dimension of the traction battery, said Xiao Chengwei, project leader at Tianjin Institute of Power Sources, at the Second Li-ion Battery Forum.

Xiao Chengwei is a member of the expert panel for the 863 (Hi-tech Plan) Alternative Fuel Vehicles Program. The Ministry of Science and Technology guided and supported the program.
