VDE Online Seminars

This webinar offers a structured introduction to DC charging stations for electric vehicles, tailored for manufacturers, planners, and installers alike. We start by clarifying what a charging station is and outlining its basic structure and components.

You'll gain insight into the essential standards and regulations that impact development, design, and market access. We’ll also cover the different product categories involved, typical installation scenarios, and key technical requirements.

An important focus is on the value of using certified components and systems. You'll learn why verified compliance isn’t just about meeting legal demands—it’s about building trust, ensuring safety, and reducing liability. Finally, we’ll explain the role of VDE in testing and certification, including what they assess and how it benefits your product's acceptance in the market.

Whether you're developing charging technology or integrating it into infrastructure, this webinar gives you the knowledge base you need.

We look forward to your participation in our free online seminar.

In this webinar, we take a closer look at the regulations that affect EV drivers today—and in the near future. First, we look at where you can charge your car: at home, at work, while shopping, on long trips, across the EU, and worldwide. For each location, we’ll explain what rules apply—some simple, some more complex.
Next, we explore how payment works in each of those places, and what’s needed to make it smooth and secure everywhere.

Then we look ahead: What else could your car do once the right standards are in place? From bidirectional charging to powering your home or feeding energy back into the grid—technologies like BIDI, V2L, V2G, V2H, and V2X offer big opportunities. We’ll discuss what regulations still need to catch up to make these ideas a reality.

E-mobility isn’t just about driving electric—it’s about new ways to connect energy, mobility, and everyday life. This session shows where we are now and what’s still needed to unlock the full potential.

We look forward to your participation in our free online seminar.

The global battery market is experiencing exponential growth, currently driven by the electrification of transport and the expansion of renewable energy, along with the associated demand for stationary battery storage systems. At the same time, economies of scale, the continuous introduction of new cell and battery designs, and increasing market competition are leading to declining cell and battery pack prices.

In addition to the ongoing advancement of established lithium-ion technologies, new cell chemistries are increasingly coming into focus, particularly sodium-ion and solid-state batteries. These technologies promise advantages in terms of resource availability, cost structure, energy density, and safety.

However, technological innovation is accompanied by evolving hazard potentials. While lithium-ion batteries are primarily characterized by risks such as thermal runaway, fire, and explosion, sodium-ion batteries exhibit partially different electrochemical and thermal properties that require new evaluation criteria. Solid-state batteries are considered potentially safer due to their non-liquid electrolytes, yet they introduce new challenges regarding mechanical stability, interfacial reactions, and possible internal short circuits. In addition, higher energy densities and novel material systems are changing risk profiles at the cell, module, and system levels.

These developments result in an increased need for adapted testing procedures and enhanced safety assessments. Our VDE battery laboratories support customers throughout the entire development process, from early-stage testing to final certification.
