Information
Definition
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.
Why it matters
It is relevant to Plug & Charge and high-level communication features used by compatible vehicles, chargers and backend systems. For UK users, it helps separate legal requirements, recognised standards, good practice and manufacturer claims when reviewing EV charging equipment.
