Talk:ISO 15118

ISO/IEC

@Mitch - I note your recent changes. Did you follow my link to the IEC TC69 page? I guess I'm unfamiliar with the convention here on Wikipedia, but the standard is certainly the responsibility of ISO/IEC JWGs

I make no comment on who is responsible for the standards, but the ISO catalog (I've added references) lists the standard designation as ISO, not ISO/IEC. Mitch Ames (talk) 12:13, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Bi-directional 15118

The first sentence is wrong. I don't believe there's any facility to do discharging with 15118-2 so it's not bi-directional. The car alone determines what voltage and wattage it's requesting - the vehicle could make a request for a negative voltage and current, but there's no way for the EVSE to do it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.94.93.158 (talk) 01:08, 16 June 2018 (UTC)

I corrected the article once but got this: "Undid revision 899637091 by 12.94.93.158 (talk) please provide a reference from a reliable source undo Tag: Undo" I've implemented the entire standard and I really don't care enough to bother to correct readers on the specification. I may be the primary expert in North America, but you know better, so *shrug*. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.94.93.158 (talk) 22:41, 5 June 2019 (UTC)

It's too bad you don't care, because we would really need experts on this. Unfortunately we cannot build an encyclopedia on assurances from anonymous IPs, so we need reliable sources. If you are an expert I am sure it is easy for you to point to a reliable source stating what you wrote. I would be grateful if you could. Thank you! --Ita140188 (talk) 07:25, 6 June 2019 (UTC)

Since the introduction of the newer 15118-20, it appears that the 15118 family of standards now provides implementation guidelines for the bi-directional flow of energy, hence the first sentence has become correct and the objection is now resolved.My Gussie (talk) 04:38, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Broken link

I don't know how to make an edit properly. But to whoever reads this, citation number 13 is a broken link. Hopefully you can fix it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.82.118.28 (talk) 14:05, 2 July 2020 (UTC)

Unfortunately, PSA has deleted the news release that stated that ISO 15118 was applied to Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs) used in ports and harbors. I have tried to find a better reference to replace it, but the best I could come up with was an old dissertation that considered its feasibility Prerequisites of high power charging infrastructure and fully electrical machinery implementation in harbor environment. It seems pretty clear that electric AGVs are in use in ports and would need charging, and ISO 15118 would be a viable standard for this use case, but until a better reference is found we will have to live with the dead link.

Link to DIN 70121

We need a link to a DIN 70121 article here. A rep from EVgo mentioned DIN 70121 as the "2014 pre- ISO 15118 standard" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZcyamMRsbA Kallisti05 (talk) 18:02, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Unfortunately, there isn't any description of DIN 70121 in Wikipedia at present. We'll have to wait until such a description is created. It does not have to be a stand-alone article, but could be a section in another article such as Combined Charging System#Charging communication. My Gussie (talk) 05:38, 4 January 2026 (UTC)
