Information
Definition
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.
Why it matters
It supports interoperability and testing for future wireless communication between EVs and charging equipment. For UK users, it helps separate legal requirements, recognised standards, good practice and manufacturer claims when reviewing EV charging equipment.
