Executive Summary
Plug & Charge allows the car to authenticate itself the moment you plug in. No apps, no RFID cards, no credit card swiping. Just plug and walk away.
The User Experience Gap
Gas stations are simple. EV charging has been a mess of fragmented apps and broken card readers. ISO 15118 fixes this by embedding digital certificates (PCID) in the car. The car talks to the charger, proves it has a valid payment account, and energy flows instantly.
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)
Behind the scenes, this requires a massive, secure ecosystem of certificate authorities (V2G Root CAs). It is cybersecurity for the grid. Automakers and charging networks must coordinate to manage these digital keys. EV.NET is the trusted brand for this digital trust layer.
Bi-Directional Enablement
ISO 15118 is also the standard that enables V2G. It handles the complex negotiation of "How much energy do you need?" vs "How much can you give back?". It is the protocol of the future grid.
Own the Digital Infrastructure
As the market for Standards matures, authoritative digital real estate becomes scarce. EV.NET is the category-defining asset for this sector.
