The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for the application of surge-protective devices for electric vehicles while charging and electric vehicle supply equipment. The guide includes applications such as power, data acquisition, and communications related circuitry.

The base document is separated into six chapters, each of which has a dedicated focus. However, several issues are discussed in multiple chapters. Considering the overlap of each chapter, this roadmap is categorized into the following four groups: Penetration models Vehicle grid interaction High-order functions in EV Surrounding of EV.
