ISO 15118

ISO 15118 Road vehicles -- Vehicle to grid communication interface is an international standard defining a vehicle to grid (V2G) communication interface for bi-directional charging/discharging of electric vehicles.[1] The standard provides a Plug & Charge feature used by some electric vehicle networks.[2]

Overview

ISO 15118 is one of the International Electrotechnical Commission's group of standards for electric road vehicles and electric industrial trucks, and is the responsibility of Joint Working Group 1 (JWG1 V2G) of IEC Technical Committee 69 (TC69)[3] together with subcommittee 31 (SC31)[4] of the International Organization for Standardization's Technical Committee 22 (TC22)[5] on road vehicles. Several companies can be declared as certificate authority, among which CharIn, Gireve and Hubject, but charge station operators and automakers can also handle the certificates.[6][7][8]

ISO and IEC began working together on the standard in 2010,[9] and a Plug & Charge section was released in 2014. By 2018, no automakers had a functional implementation of the standard.[6]

As of 2019 and 2020, several Public Key Infrastructure issues remained unsolved for applicating the standard as intended.[10][11][6][8]

Plug & Charge

The user-convenient and secure Plug & Charge feature that comes with ISO 15118 enables an electric vehicle to automatically identify and authorize itself to a compatible charging station on behalf of the driver, to receive energy for recharging its battery. The only action required by the driver is to plug the charging cable into the EV and/or charging station. The car and the charger identify themselves to each other by exchanging certificates with a certificate pool to allow payment.[12] An open test system started in November 2021.[13] The standard can be used for both wired (AC and DC charging) and wireless charging for electric vehicles.[14]

Cars that support the Plug & Charge standard include the 2018 Opel Ampera-e, the model year 2021 Porsche Taycan, Lucid Air, Ford Mustang Mach-E,[7] and the Rivian R1T.[15]

Other electric vehicles will be updated to support the standard, including the Volkswagen ID.4.[16] Some cars need hardware updates.[8]

All Tesla vehicles since 2012 (before the release of ISO 15118-2 in 2014) have a proprietary version of Plug & Charge.[6][8]

Alternatives to Plug & Charge exist including "AutoCharge" based on DIN Spec 70121 (Combined Charging System - CCS)[17] [18] and proprietary solutions, such as those developed by Paua.[19]

Standard documents

ISO 15118 consists of the following parts, detailed in separate standard documents:

  • ISO 15118-1: General information and use-case definition[1]
  • ISO 15118-2: Network and application protocol requirements[20]
  • ISO 15118-3: Physical and data link layer requirements[21]
  • ISO 15118-4: Network and application protocol conformance test[20]
  • ISO 15118-5: Physical and data link layer conformance test[22]
  • ISO/DIS 15118-6: General information and use-case definition for wireless communication (out of commission, merged with 2nd edition of ISO 15118-1)[23]
  • ISO/CD 15118-7: Network and application protocol requirements for wireless communication (out of commission, moved to ISO/DIS 15118–20)[23]
  • ISO 15118-8: Physical layer and data link layer requirements for wireless communication[24]
  • ISO 15118-20: 2nd generation network and application protocol requirements[25]

Use of ISO 15118 in heavy duty vehicles

The ISO 15118 is also used as communication protocol for charging of heavy duty vehicles as:

  • Harbor Automated Guided Vehicles [26]
  • Public transportation [27]

When using the ISO 15118 in a commercial operation the use of WLAN (ISO 15118-8) must be considered carefully since there is no way to guarantee operation uptime when using wireless communication based on WLAN. For these situations the same protocol as for passenger car charging can be used (ISO 15118-3 powerline communication).
