"Plug and charge" is a technology that allows electric vehicle (EV) charging without the need for a separate payment method, such as a credit card or mobile app. With plug and charge, an EV owner can simply plug their vehicle into a compatible charging station, and the charging session will automatically start and the payment will be processed seamlessly and securely in the background.
The technology is made possible by a standard called ISO 15118, which defines a secure communication protocol between the EV and the charging station. Using this protocol, the EV can authenticate itself to the charging station, and the charging session can be authorized and initiated automatically.
Several automakers and charging network providers have already adopted plug and charge technology, which is expected to make EV charging more convenient and accessible for drivers.
