Vertexcom HomePlug GreenPHY Chips Support ISO 15118 Plug & Charge, Optimize Electric Vehicle Charging Experience

According to CharIN—the worldwide non-profit organization for the support and development of the Combined Charging System (CCS) standard—Plug & Charge enables automated communication and billing processes between the electric vehicle and the charging station without any need for external identification (e.g. RFID cards, Debit/credit cards or charging apps), all the while ensuring robust IT security.

With support for the Plug & Charge feature, Vertexcom HomePlug GreenPHY SECC chipset MSE1021 + MSEX24-i and EVCC chipset MSE1022 + MSEX25-i enable a seamless EV charging experience. By eliminating the need for external identification via physical cards or smartphone apps, users can simply connect their EV to a compatible charging station, and the charging process initiates automatically.

When a compatible, ISO 15118-compliant EV is connected to a charging station equipped with Vertexcom HomePlug GreenPHY System-on-Chip (SoC), the two devices automatically establish a secure communication channel. This channel enables the exchange of critical information such as charging capabilities, payment details, and energy management preferences.

Plug & Charge is outlined by ISO 15118—an International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard for EV charging communications. Plug & Charge uses a set of encryption algorithms and digital certificates, issued to various roles within the Plug & Charge ecosystem. Through this complex network, Plug & Charge enables secure and tamper-proof communication between electric vehicles and charging stations. Vertexcom HomePlug GreenPHY chips support ISO 15118 standard to ensure interoperability, compatibility, and enhanced security for EV charging systems.
