ISO 15118 (AC/DC CCS1) (High Level Communication / Plug & Charge )
ISO 15118 is an international standard that outlines the digital communication protocol that an electric vehicle (EV)
and charging station should use to recharge the EV’s high-voltage battery. As part of the Combined Charging System
(CCS), ISO 15118 covers all charging-related use cases across the globe. This includes wired (AC and DC) and wireless
charging applications and the pantographs that are used to charge larger vehicles like buses.
