EV Charging Terminology

IET 01:2024 is a non-statutory IET standard and technical specification for Open combined Protective and Neutral conductor Detection Devices used with EV charging equipment. It sets out definitions, requirements and tests for how discrete or integrated OPDD functions should respond to open PEN conductor faults.

Internal PE breakage refers to a charger design where the charger has a means of interrupting or isolating the protective earth path internally as part of its response to a detected PEN fault condition.

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.

ISO 15118-1 defines general information and use cases for the vehicle-to-grid communication interface. On EVCP Info, it links related terminology to the relevant regulatory, standards or compliance framework used by UK-focused audiences.

ISO 15118-10 specifies requirements for wireless power transfer communication within the vehicle-to-grid communication framework. On EVCP Info, it links related terminology to the relevant regulatory, standards or compliance framework used by UK-focused audiences.

ISO 15118-2 specifies network and application protocol requirements for EV-to-EVSE communication. On EVCP Info, it links related terminology to the relevant regulatory, standards or compliance framework used by UK-focused audiences.

ISO 15118-20 is the second-generation vehicle-to-grid network and application protocol standard, extending support for advanced smart charging and bidirectional power transfer. On EVCP Info, it links related terminology to the relevant regulatory, standards or compliance framework used by UK-focused audiences.

ISO 15118-3 covers physical and data link layer requirements for vehicle-to-grid communication. On EVCP Info, it links related terminology to the relevant regulatory, standards or compliance framework used by UK-focused audiences.

ISO 15118-4 contains conformance test specifications for ISO 15118 network and application protocol requirements. On EVCP Info, it links related terminology to the relevant regulatory, standards or compliance framework used by UK-focused audiences.

ISO 15118-5 contains conformance test specifications for the physical and data link layer of vehicle-to-grid communication. On EVCP Info, it links related terminology to the relevant regulatory, standards or compliance framework used by UK-focused audiences.

ISO 15118-6 covers wireless communication general information and use cases within the vehicle-to-grid communication framework. On EVCP Info, it links related terminology to the relevant regulatory, standards or compliance framework used by UK-focused audiences.

ISO 15118-7 defines wireless communication requirements for network and application layers in the vehicle-to-grid communication interface. On EVCP Info, it links related terminology to the relevant regulatory, standards or compliance framework used by UK-focused audiences.

ISO 15118-8 covers wireless communication physical and data link layer requirements for vehicle-to-grid communication. On EVCP Info, it links related terminology to the relevant regulatory, standards or compliance framework used by UK-focused audiences.
