What is EV Plug & Charge?
The future of EV charging is here
Plug & Charge brings the convenience of home charging to the road. Simply plan your charging stops, plug in when you arrive, and relax while your car charges. No more credit cards, RFID tags, mobile apps or other mechanisms to access the multiple charging networks on your journeys. But for the system to be trusted, all information shared during a charging session must be secured and protected.
That's why ISO 15118 was developed, which defines the vehicle-to-grid (V2G) communication interface and cybersecurity requirements for both charging and discharging electric vehicles when connected to the power grid. This standard enables an electric vehicle to automatically identify and authorize itself with a compatible charging station on behalf of the driver. ISO 15118 compliant vehicles and chargers identify themselves to each other by exchanging certificates, accessed from certificate pools, which are also used for payment to the eMobility Service Provider (eMSP) with whom the driver has a valid payment contract.
Single Platform for Multiple Applications
Our secure infrastructure can provision production certificates for electric vehicles (EV), charge points (CPs) and mobility service providers (eMSP), which provide access to the Plug & Charge ecosystem. ChargeAuth can host the Provisioning & Contract Certificate pools needed to provide smooth charging experience for the consumer.
