Motivation

Plug and Charge has the potential to provide great advantages in tearms of technical features and convenience for the user. This can be seen as a addon to the current market mechanisms and a upgrade to current user experience. All market roles, however have to implement the crypto mechanisms defined by the ISO/IEC 15118, deal with PKIs and handle certificates.

These common tasks can be provided by an open source implementation without influencing each parties market differentiation. A common implementation helps to develop the ecosystem more quickly, making more roaming partners available to those who want to use Plug and Charge.

Scope

This project will implement all necessary components of the V2G PKI infrastructure. However, since some of these components require an active link to a charging station or an electric vehicle, some parts will be implemented as mockup services to simulate these hardware components. The focus lies on the PKIs rather than on the ISO/IEC 15118 interface between car and infrastructure.

For the project scopes on the individual roles see /doc/roles-and-systems-list.csv.

FAQ

Who can use this project?

All parties who implement a PnC market role.

How can I contribute?

See contribution.

Will all roles get implemented within OpenV2G?

There will pobably never be a implementation for the EV and the EVSE itself. There are other projects available which provide this functionality.

Where can I read about Plug and Charge itself?

Plug and Charge is defined by the ISO/IEC 15118 standard which you would need to buy.

Are there other resources to learn about Plug and Charge?

See the links section. There is also v2g-clarity.com which provides free and paid information.

Contribution

The OpenV2G implementation is under development.

We would therefore appreciate your help in pushing the development forward.
