MUNICH, Germany and TEL AVIV, Israel, Aug. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Electric vehicle (EV) drivers want a simple and seamless charging experience: drive up, plug in and charging that starts automatically, without having to open an app, tap an RFID tag or use a charge card. Implementing the ISO 15118-based Plug&Charge technology makes this seamless experience a reality, as the three EV industry collaborators will demonstrate at the Intercharge Network Conference (ICNC23) in Berlin:
When the EV driver plugs the vehicle into the charge point, the EV identifies itself to the charging station, allowing for instant authorization and the initiation of charging. The communication includes data on the driver’s account with the EV charging service provider, which ensures that the electricity used for charging will be billed automatically.As a leading provider of charging solutions for electric vehicles, Mer stands for a rapid expansion of electromobility and more efficient use of renewable energies.
