This meeting is sponsored by the U.S. Department of Commerce's National Institute of Standards and Technology.

Purpose: The U.S. National Work Group (USNWG) on Measuring Systems for Electric Vehicle Fueling is 

meeting to develop proposed requirements for commercial electricity-measuring devices (including those used in 

sub-metering electricity at residential and business locations and those used to measure and sell electricity 

commercially dispensed as vehicle fuel) and to ensure that the prescribed methodologies and standards facilitate 

measurements that are traceable to the International System of Units (SI). This work is not intended to address 

utility metering in the home or business where the electricity metered is consumed by the end purchaser.
