EVgo adds Rivian to its Autocharge+ seamless charging system
One of many complaints about public charging is that some public chargers require EV drivers to go through a cumbersome process involving apps and logins before charging. Plug & Charge, based on the ISO 15118 standard, eliminates all that, handling authentication and billing automatically when a driver plugs in. (This is basically the same feature… Read more »
Vertexcom Technologies supports V2G standard in its chipset
Vertexcom Technologies, a smart charging communication chip design company, has announced support for ISO 15118-20 Bidirectional Power Transfer (BPT), also known as Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) transfer, in its chipsets. Vertexcom’s HomePlug GreenPHY SECC chipset MSE1021+MSEX24-i and EVCC chipset MSE1022+MSEX25-i support the implementation of ISO 15118-20 BPT. Drivers can save or make money by using electricity stored… Read more »
EcoG and Infineon work to ensure compatibility of bidirectional chargers and EVs
Munich-based tech company EcoG has presented an ISO-compliant bidirectional charging solution which follows charging standards association CharIN’s guidelines. EcoG plans to unveil a pre-integrated reference design for bidirectional charging in addition to EcoG Charge Controllers. Together with partner Infineon, a power semiconductor manufacturer, EcoG is developing a starter kit with an integrated 22 kW converter… Read more »
Will California’s bidirectional EV charging mandate bring Tesla on board with bidirectional charging?
California Governor Gavin Newsom is just one of many who have called bidirectional charging a “game-changing” technology. Going bi enables vehicle-to-grid applications, which not only provide nifty features to EV drivers, but are widely seen as an essential tool for smoothly integrating large numbers of EVs into the electrical grid. That’s why the California legislature… Read more »
CharIN North America issues call for partners to establish EV charger testing sites
The Charging Interface Initiative (CharIN) is a global alliance of EV and EVSE providers, including 60 members headquartered in the US. It promotes universal charging standards such as CCS, MCS and ISO 15118. For the past seven years, the organization has hosted bi-annual testing events, including the recent Vehicle Interoperability Testing Symposium (VOLTS) in Long… Read more »
At VOLTS event, 38 companies test EV charging equipment
The debut edition of VOLTS (Vehicle Interoperability Testing Symposium) recently took place in Long Beach, California. This interoperability testing event, funded by the California Energy Commission and organized by the Charging Interface Initiative (CharIN), brought together 38 e-mobility companies to test their equipment. Some 34 e-mobility experts spoke on a range of interoperability and reliability… Read more »
Why California needs to mandate bidirectional charging capabilities for EVs
Explaining the benefits of bidirectional EV charging: Q&A with Nuvve CEO Gregory Poilasne The term “game-changing” gets thrown around a lot in the EV field, but if there’s any new technology that really does deserve to be described this way (as California Governor Gavin Newsom recently did), it’s bidirectional charging. Going bi adds several nifty… Read more »
