Full Description

This document specifies the communication between the electric vehicle (EV), including battery electric vehicle (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV), and the electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). The application layer messages defined in this document are designed to support the electricity power transfer between an EV and an EVSE.

This document defines the communication messages and sequence requirements for bidirectional power transfer.

This document furthermore defines requirements of wireless communication for both conductive charging and wireless charging as well as communication requirements for automatic connection device and information services about charging and control status.

The purpose of this document is to detail the communication between an electric vehicle communication controller (EVCC) and a supply equipment communication controller (SECC). Aspects are specified to detect a vehicle in a communication network and enable an Internet Protocol (IP) based communication between the EVCC and the SECC (see Figure 1).

This document defines messages, data model, XML/EXI-based data representation format, usage of V2GTP, TLS, TCP and IPv6. These requirements belong to the 3rd until the 7th OSI layer model. In addition, the document describes main service sequences of conductive charging, wireless power transfer and bidirectional power transfer, and how data link layer services can be accessed from an OSI layer 3 perspective.
