|
| Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) is equipment used to charge an Electric
|
| Vehicle (EV) or Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle. This cluster provides an
|
| interface to the functionality of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE)
|
| management.
|
|
|
| Devices targeted by this cluster include Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment
|
| (EVSE). The cluster generically assumes a signaling protocol (J1772 in NA and
|
| IEC61851 in Europe and Asia) between the EVSE and Electric Vehicle (EV) that
|
| utilizes a pilot signal to manage the states of the charge. SAE J1772 and
|
| IEC61841 define Pilot signal as a modulated DC voltage on a single wire.
|
|
|
| Power Line Communication (PLC) is supported by some EVSEs (e.g. for support of
|
| ISO 15118) and may enable features such as Vehicle to Grid (V2G) or Vehicle to
|
| Home (V2H) that allows for bi-directional charging/discharging of electric
|
| vehicles.
|
|
|
| More modern EVSE devices may optionally support ISO 15118 to support
|
| bi-directional charging (Vehicle to Grid - V2G) and Plug and Charge
|
| capabilities.
|
|
|
| This cluster definition assumes AC charging only. DC charging options may be
|
| added in future revisions of this cluster.
|
|
|
| This cluster supports a safety mechanism that may lockout remote operation until
|
| the initial latching conditions have been met. Some of the fault conditions
|
| defined in SAE J1772, such as Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) or
|
| Charging Circuit Interrupting Device (CCID), may require clearing by an operator
|
| by, for example, pressing a button on the equipment or breaker panel.
|
|
|
| Signals and data provided by Electric Vehicle (EV) are labeled using EV in
|
| control and attribute names. Signals and data provided by Electric Vehicle
|
| Supply Equipment (EVSE) are labeled using EVSE in control and attribute names.
|
|
|
| This EVSE cluster is written around support of a single EVSE. Having multiple
|
| EVSEs at home or a business is managed by backend system and outside scope of
|
| this cluster.
|
|
|
| Note that in many deployments the EVSE may be outside the home and may suffer
|
| from intermittent network connections (e.g. a weak Wi-Fi signal). It also allows
|
| for a charging profile to be pre-configured, in case there is a temporary
|
| communications loss during a charging session.
