scope:

This part of ISO 15118 specifies the communication between battery electric vehicles (BEV) or plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment. The application layer message set defined in this part of ISO 15118 is designed to support the energy transfer from an EVSE to an EV. ISO 15118-1 contains additional use case elements (Part 1 Use Case Element IDs: F4 and F5) describing the bidirectional energy transfer. The implementation of these use cases requires enhancements of the application layer message set defined herein. The definitions of these additional requirements will be subject of the next revision of this International Standard.

The purpose of this part of ISO 15118 is to detail the communication between an EV (BEV or a PHEV) and an EVSE. Aspects are specified to detect a vehicle in a communication network and enable an Internet Protocol (IP) based communication between EVCC and SECC.

This part of ISO 15118 defines messages, data model, XML/EXI based data representation format, usage of V2GTP, TLS, TCP and IPv6. In addition, it describes how data link layer services can be accessed from a layer 3 perspective. The Data Link Layer and Physical Layer functionality is described in ISO 15118-3.
