ISO 15118-20 is an international standard for communication between electric vehicles (EVs) and charging stations, also known as the "plug and charge" standard. It specifies a protocol for secure communication between the EV and the charging station, allowing for seamless and automatic charging without the need for a separate payment or authentication process. This standard is based on the ISO 15118-2 standard, which defines the physical and data link layer for communication between EVs and charging stations. However, ISO 15118-20 goes a step further by adding a layer of security for data exchange, ensuring that the communication between the EV and the charging station is protected from potential cyber attacks.
