This action has the potential to positively impact SMEs and European society by addressing the challenges identified in the EV charging infrastructure. For SMEs, developing standardized procedures and traceable measurement methods creates market opportunities, enabling SMEs to design and manufacture products that meet regulatory requirements more efficiently. Moreover, the project’s focus on reliability in EVCS can increase consumer trust in SME-produced technologies, enhancing competitiveness.

The smart energy is currently not only an important market trend of a dynamic growth and rapid technological development, but also a central axis in the EU's Green Deal strategy joining ICT and energy sectors as main pillars for the EU development facing serious energy challenges. Furthermore the green transformation is currently considered to be an important aspect of the European energy security, especially in view of the international situation, the Russian invasion on Ukraine and the scaling energy crisis concerning hydrocarbons. In regard to these challenges the European Commission strategically plans to secure advancing renewable energy technologies further enabled by ICT and a leading global position of the EU in smart energy, transforming the global warming and the international situation challanges into a growth opportunity for EU SMEs driving European innovation with a focus on smart energy. Action's efforts in driving international smart PV standardisation supports EU SMEs.
