P
Plug & Charge
Plug & Charge allows a compatible vehicle and charger to authenticate automatically through the charging connection without separate RFID or app steps. It is normally assessed alongside interoperability, supported protocol versions, firmware support and backend compatibility.
V
Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X)
Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) is an umbrella term for bidirectional EV charging use cases where energy can flow from the vehicle to another load, building, home, grid or wider energy system. It includes V2G, V2H, V2B and V2L depending on the destination of the exported energy.
