IEC 63110
IEC 63110 is a standards family for the management of electric vehicle charging and discharging infrastructure. IEC 63110-1:2022 defines the architecture, use cases and basic concepts for communication between e-mobility actors and the electricity system. Its scope includes energy-transfer management, EVSE asset management, authentication and payment, roaming, metering information and cybersecurity. IEC 63110 addresses an infrastructure-management layer. It should not be confused with ISO 15118, which focuses on vehicle-to-EVSE communication, or with a particular proprietary back-office implementation.
