Abstract:

Communication in the e-mobility ecosystem refers to the unidirectional flow of information or bidirectional data exchange between two or more entities to ensure successful electric vehicle (EV) charging demand management and efficient integration of EVs with the grid. Effective and efficient information flow in the EV ecosystem is essential for secure, smooth and optimal operational activities. Communication includes the exchange of information between the EV and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), between EVSE and charge point operator (CPO), between CPO and electric Mobility Service Provider (eMSP), between eMSP and the distribution system operator (DSO). There is a need for fast, reliable and secure communication between these entities for efficient management of the charging process.
