EMPOWERING THE EV REVOLUTION: PAIRPOINT’S SOLUTIONS FOR ISO 15118 INTEGRATION 

With the rapid acceleration of the electric vehicle (EV) innovation, ISO 15118 is on the way to becoming the global standard for a smarter, more efficient, and user-friendly communication between EV stations and vehicles, upgrading the overall charging experience. At its core, the ISO 15118 interface facilitates Plug & Charge functionality, enabling drivers to charge their vehicles without the need for physical payment cards, RFID tags, or mobile apps.

Automotive manufacturers, charging station providers, and energy companies are steadily adopting ISO 15118 to future-proof their technologies.  By integrating this standard, these stakeholders are improving the EV charging experience and aligning with essential global trends, including decarbonisation, digitalisation, and customer-centric mobility solutions. This transition is set to transform how we recharge vehicles and interact with charging infrastructure, fostering a seamless and efficient ecosystem for EV users worldwide. 

While ISO 15118’s potential is exciting, its adoption has been slower than anticipated. Many charging stations currently do not comply with ISO 15118 standards, requiring  costly upgrades or complete replacements. Given the critical nature of the energy grid as an essential infrastructure, it is vital  to prioritise the security of any implemented solutions. 

Pairpoint is leading the way in sustainable mobility solutions, by developing advanced technologies that support  ISO 15118 adoption. Our approach combines decentralized device identity, distributed ledger technology, and SIM-based solutions, enabling secure certificate storage and payment tokens within a SIM digital wallet. This not only supports digital transformation in the automotive industry but also enhances the user experience by providing a seamless, zero-touch charging process. 

With a strong focus on innovation and customer satisfaction, Pairpoint is dedicated to shaping a cleaner, safer, and more advanced future for the mobility sector!

Ensuring that electric vehicle (EV) charging is seamless and secure is crucial for overcoming significant barriers to adoption and unlocking new value streams for all stakeholders involved. ISO 15118 is not just a standard; it is a powerful catalyst for the future of electric mobility. By proactively tackling these adoption challenges, we can fully realise its potential and transform the EV charging experience for everyone involved.
