The Secretary reviewed document EVE-04-09e covering Agenda item 2 with a focus on action items. The Secretary confirmed that all action items were completed, including:
• EVE-4 Action 1, completed: The definition for vehicle range found under item 3.1 was modified such that the entire scope of vehicles under the mandate of the EVE group is covered. The modifications ensure complete coverage for HEVs, PHEVs and BEV.
• EVE-4 Action 2, ongoing: The EVE IWG has been working with other relevant IWGs to ensure consistency of definitions when these are available. A summary table listing all available definitions from IWGs as well as those created for the EVE questionnaire was developed. The table was shared with VPSD. The EVE IWG will continue to monitor progress of VPSD and adjust definitions as required.
