Introduction:
- ➤ Why ISO 15118 is said to be the ‘operating system’ for the European electric vehicle industry in the next decade
- ➤ Plug&Charge: Reshaping the Power Relationship among OEMs, CPOs, and MSPs
- ➤ Intelligent Charging: Energy Enterprises Become the New Core
- ➤ V2G: Industrial Logic and Business Model of European Car Network Interaction
- ➤ BPT (Bidirectional Power Transfer) will restructure the value chain
- ➤ Opportunities for Chinese companies to go global: products, agreements, ecology
- ➤ ISO 15118 is a new order, not a new standard
1、 ISO 15118: The underlying ‘operating system’ for the future European electric vehicle industry
ISO 15118 is no longer a “communication protocol”, but a unified digital infrastructure standard for future charging, energy, and vehicle network interaction in Europe. It can determine:
One sentence: Whoever masters the latest features of ISO 15118 will have the say in the future overseas electric vehicle ecosystem.
2、 The PNC function (Plug&Charge) has enabled host manufacturers to rise strongly, and the power of CPO/MSP has been reshuffled.
The essence of the PNC function is:
- The electric vehicle itself is the account itself, the card/app/operator is no longer the account
- Vehicle certificate determines identity
- Mastering the authentication entrance by the host factory=Mastering the user entrance
The technical principles behind the PNC (Plug&Charge) function can be found in the previous article for a detailed explanation.
How can the ecological structure be reshaped?
1. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer)
The biggest beneficiary; Mastering vehicle certificates → Mastering user authentication; Enhance the binding capability of CPO and MSP; Opportunity to extend charging payments and energy services.
2. Charging Operators (CPOs)
No longer mastering the user authentication entrance; Weakened status but increased asset value (stations, electricity); Key technological turning point: compatibility with ISO 15118-20+deep integration with car manufacturers.
3. Charging Service Provider (MSP)
The business model has been weakened (Europe is already weak); Future dependence on differentiated services rather than account binding.
4. Power Grid&Energy Company
Will master the new core in intelligent charging/V2G; The energy market – EV charging market will truly be connected.
3、 Intelligent Charging: Energy Companies Will Become New Industry Core
Intelligent charging is the most influential capability of ISO 15118 in the industry:
- Dynamic power scheduling
- Electricity price signal (current electricity price) docking
- Peak shaving and valley filling
- Light storage and charging linkage
- Fleet energy optimization
4、 V2G: Vehicle to network interaction will become the mainstream capability of the European energy system
The energy structure of Europe determines that V2G is not an “option” but a “necessity”.
1. High proportion of distributed energy
47% of net electricity generation in EU member states in 2024 will come from renewable energy sources.
2. Huge demand for power grid frequency regulation
Renewable growth brings about volatility issues.
3. Large peak valley price difference (>4x)
Price difference of 2-3 times between peak and valley periods.
4. Total amount of car batteries far exceeds energy storage
EV batteries in the EU have exceeded the current static BESS battery energy storage installed capacity (61.1 GWh).
5、 BPT (Bidirectional Power Transmission): A Technology that Truly Changes the Industry Value Chain
ISO 15118-BPT is the core technology for implementing V2G. BPT will reshape the industry in three directions: Car factory, Charging pile manufacturer, Energy company, and CPO.
6、 New opportunities for Chinese new energy enterprises to go global
- Protocol capability: Shanghai Meiyida has obvious advantages in ISO 15118 standard.
- Charging stations set sail: AC/DC pile supporting ISO 15118-20.
- Energy service platform: Intelligent scheduling, energy arbitrage, fleet energy management.
- Fleet solution: European fleet operators are most concerned about cost optimization and V2G revenue.
- Light storage charging and V2G stations: European commercial real estate and logistics parks are being deployed in large numbers.
7、 ISO 15118 is the new order for the European electric vehicle industry
In the next decade, the competition in the European EV ecosystem will no longer be: Whose charging gun is faster, but who can master the underlying connectivity between energy, digital, and vehicle power grids.
