Road vehicles - Vehicle to grid communication interface - Part 5: Physical layer and data link layer conformance test (ISO 15118-5:2018)

This document specifies the requirements and procedures for verifying the conformance of physical layer and data link layer interfaces between electric road vehicles and power grids. It focuses on ensuring reliable communication mechanisms during the plug-and-charge process, which is essential for the seamless integration of electric mobility infrastructure. The standard outlines the technical parameters necessary for the exchange of information between the vehicle and the supply equipment, including signal characteristics, frame structures, and error handling protocols. By establishing a common framework, it facilitates interoperability among different manufacturers and operators within the charging network. The text details the testing methodologies required to validate that both the hardware and software components adhere to the defined communication specifications. This verification process ensures that data transmission remains secure and efficient under various operating conditions. The guidelines provided assist in the development of compliant systems and support the broader goal of widespread electric vehicle adoption by removing technical barriers in the charging ecosystem.
