Standard or regulation
ISO 15118
ISO 15118 is the international vehicle-to-grid communication standard series covering EV-to-charger digital communication, Plug & Charge, smart charging and bidirectional charging functions. In the UK it is increasingly relevant to future-ready public, fleet and V2G-capable charging systems.
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.
Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)
Vehicle-to-Grid allows an EV to export energy back to the electricity grid or support grid services through compatible charging equipment. It is normally assessed alongside DNO requirements, import/export limits, generation, storage and wider site energy management.
