Seamless EV Charging

1️⃣ Interoperability — When EVs and chargers “speak the same language” Today’s charging landscape is still fragmented: CCS, NACS, CHAdeMO, GB/T and more coexist across regions. Without interoperability: ❌Some cars can’t charge on certain networks  📱Drivers must manage multiple apps and accounts  🛠️Operators face higher maintenance and upgrade complexity  Recent studies show that only ~12% of CCS public chargers have fully implemented secure encrypted communication (TLS). This highlights the gap between standards and real-world deployment—especially across borders and networks. 2️⃣ Roaming — Charge anywhere, across operators and countries 🌐 In Europe, EV drivers regularly cross borders. Without roaming, they must register with each charging provider individually—an unnecessary friction in 2025. Roaming allows EV charging to work just like mobile networks: 👉 You move. Your access follows. 3️⃣ Seamless Experience — “Plug in and go” is no longer optional ⚙️✨ A true seamless experience includes: 🔷Auto authentication 🔷Auto billing 🔷No apps or QR codes 🔷Cross-network compatibility This is the goal of Plug & Charge, a key capability of the ISO 15118 standard. 🚀Where Is the Industry Heading? The Next Wave of Technology & Standards  🔐 1. Plug & Charge + PKI Trust Architecture Will Become Standard ISO 15118-enabled charging allows: Automatic identification Encrypted communication Hands-free payment Analysts expect Plug & Charge availability to double by 2027, driven by large operators upgrading their networks. 🔌 2. Multi-standard compatibility will be essential With CCS and NACS expected to coexist in Europe and North America for years, operators increasingly choose multi-standard chargers to reduce long-term upgrade costs. Future infrastructure will rely on: Multi-port designs Modular connector systems Software-based protocol switching 🛡️ 3. Stronger cybersecurity & mandatory OTA updates As more data flows between EVs and chargers (billing, identity, vehicle status), mandatory secure communication—TLS, PKI, and firmware updates—is becoming a regulatory necessity, not just a feature. 🌍 4. Large-scale roaming alliances Europe’s heavy cross-border mobility makes roaming indispensable. Operators are moving toward interconnected authentication networks so that EV charging works the same in the UK, France, Germany, or the Netherlands. 🏆How FES Power Supports the Transition to a Fully Interoperable Future  FES Power positions itself as a future-ready technology enabler for charging networks across the UK, Europe, and global markets.
