ISO15118 Plug and Charge
Iocharger is the World’s 1st OCPP2.0.1 and Hubject ISO15118 PnC certified EV charger supplier
With the rise of electric vehicles, simplifying the charging experience has become essential. The ISO15118 standard introduces “Plug and Charge” technology, allowing EVs to automatically authenticate and begin charging without the need for apps or cards. This standard facilitates secure data exchange between the vehicle and charger, enabling automatic billing. Designed to work across various car manufacturers and charging networks, ISO15118 creates a more seamless and unified charging experience. It also supports future advancements like bi-directional charging, making it a key element in building scalable EV charging infrastructure.

ISO15118 Plug & Charge is a communication standard that enables seamless, secure, and automated interactions between electric vehicles (EVs) and charging stations. This feature simplifies the charging process for drivers and ensures a secure, user-friendly experience across different charging networks and vehicle brands.
The key benefits of ISO15118 "Plug and Charge"
Seamless User Experience
Drivers no longer need to use apps, cards, or RFID tokens to initiate a charging session. Instead, they simply plug in the charging cable, and the EV automatically identifies itself to the charging station. This “Plug and Charge” feature streamlines the process, making charging as easy as fueling a conventional vehicle.
Enhanced Security
ISO15118 integrates advanced encryption and authentication protocols, ensuring a secure exchange of information between the EV and the charging station. This reduces the risk of unauthorized access or potential fraud during charging sessions.
Simplified Billing
ISO15118 enables automatic billing through the driver’s registered payment credentials. This eliminates the need for multiple accounts or memberships with different charging networks, offering a standardized payment method across different locations and service providers.
Future-Proofing
ISO15118 supports additional features like bi-directional charging (Vehicle-to-Grid, or V2G). This allows EVs to feed electricity back into the grid, offering benefits for grid stability and opening up new opportunities for energy management.
