Product overview
Vehicle control unit for standards-based charging communication, Plug & Charge, and bidirectional charging use cases.
Technical foundation
Technologies
Bidirectional Charging
Supports TechnologyBDC
Bidirectional Charging allows an electric vehicle battery to receive electricity and return stored energy to a home, building, load, or electric grid.
Plug & Charge
Supports TechnologyPnC
Plug & Charge enables a compatible electric vehicle and charging station to authenticate, authorize, and manage charging automatically through a secure digital connection.
Vehicle-to-Grid
Supports TechnologyV2G
Vehicle-to-Grid enables electric vehicles to exchange energy with the electric grid, allowing managed charging and, where supported, the export of stored vehicle energy.
Interoperability
Standards
ISO 15118
Supports StandardISO 15118
A family of standards defining communication between electric vehicles and charging infrastructure, including Plug & Charge and bidirectional energy communication.
ISO 15118-20
supportsISO 15118-20
ISO 15118-20 defines second-generation charging messages, including bidirectional power-transfer communication. It matters to V2X because it gives independently developed systems a common technical contract.
