EV: Communication Infrastructure Management System

Green transport, a transport that has minimal or no dependence on fossil fuels and hence minimal or zero-carbon foot print is the need of the hour. The factors inhibiting the proliferation of this are lack of implementations of international standard - for charging between Electric Vehicle (EV) and Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), for communication between EVSE and a Central Management System (CMS). This paper explains the criteria for ranking of different standards for EV-EVSE communication for low voltage DC chargers and also shares implementation results of the same. The next leg of the communication i.e., between EVSE and CMS implementation is also discussed. The CMS design incorporates open-APIs enabling development of mobile applications, so as to provide a holistic platform for enabling EV proliferation. The results of initial implementation of end-to-end stack is also presented.
