Munich-based tech firm EcoG has offered an ISO-compliant bidirectional charging resolution which follows charging requirements affiliation CharIN’s tips.

EcoG plans to unveil a pre-integrated reference design for bidirectional charging along with EcoG Cost Controllers. Along with companion Infineon, an influence semiconductor producer, EcoG is growing a starter package with an built-in 22 kW converter and controller.

As EcoG sees it, an absence of compatibility between charging stations and EVs is an impediment to extra widespread implementation of V2H/V2G. EcoG has examined its V2G/BiDi resolution with car producers in accordance with the brand new ISO 15118-20 bidirectional energy switch (BPT) normal, in addition to the BPT Software Information from CharIN.

As a core member of CharIN, EcoG has performed an necessary position within the software description for the ISO normal. EcoG can also be supporting harmonization and alignment between the ISO 15118 and SAE J2847 charging requirements for V2G. This could result in higher scalability, compatibility and interoperability. EcoG’s software program is designed to assist all V2G-capable automobiles—together with these nonetheless below growth.

“The truth that bidirectional charging truly works in line with ISO 15118-20 BPT is a significant step ahead,” mentioned Xi Zhang, EcoG’s Director of E-mobility. “This permits the expertise to be utilized to the mass market, as prospects can now make certain that their wallbox can talk with any V2G-enabled car within the subject.”

“V2G because the standardized characteristic is important for broad adoption of this expertise,” added co-founder and CEO Jörg Heuer. “Car producers are together with the bidirectional wallbox as a part of their choices. EcoG supplies the V2G expertise within the type of a starter package to charger producers to allow merchandise with brief lead time to market, and to OEMs for interoperability testing.”
