Information
Definition
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.
Why it matters
It helps frame how smart charging, Plug & Charge and bidirectional charging functions are described before detailed implementation requirements are applied. For UK users, it helps separate legal requirements, recognised standards, good practice and manufacturer claims when reviewing EV charging equipment.
