ISO 15118 defines a communications standard for the interface between EVs and the electricity grid that now includes an improved security regime. Here’s an overview of the standard and how it should be implemented in an EV charging system.
With electric vehicles (EVs) becoming more common comes increased focus on how we charge them. How can we integrate the EV charger with other smart home systems, and what opportunities could this create?
Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) enables EVs to send power from their batteries back to the main electricity grid. This will be hugely helpful in dealing with the inconsistency of renewables. However, it brings with it new technical and commercial challenges.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are big business. You only need to look at Tesla’s share price to see just how big. Imagine how much more valuable the market would be if EVs could charge in a few seconds, not minutes or hours.
