Versinetic, an electric vehicle (EV) charge point solutions provider, is strengthening its ISO 15118 offering as EV charging manufacturers prepare for new UK and EU interoperability requirements and the transition toward “SuperSmart” charging infrastructure.

As the EV charging market evolves, manufacturers are increasingly building on the legacy IEC 61851 protocol, which provides the basic electrical signalling layer, by integrating the IP-based architecture of ISO 15118. The standard enables secure, high-level communication between the vehicle and charger and underpins features such as Plug and Charge and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) capability.

To support OEMs implementing these requirements, Versinetic has expanded the capabilities of its modular Charging Blox platform, which combines communication stacks, controller hardware and integration tools designed to simplify ISO 15118 deployment.

With compliance deadlines for EN ISO 15118-2 and ISO 15118-20 approaching in 2026 and 2027, and ISO 15118 increasingly required under the EU’s Alternative Fuels Infrastructure Regulation (AFIR), Versinetic says the platform is designed to help manufacturers reduce development time and integration complexity.

“The industry is entering a new phase where interoperability, security and intelligent energy management are becoming just as important as charging speed,” said Dunstan Power, Managing Director of Versinetic. “ISO 15118 provides the foundation for that shift, enabling everything from seamless Plug and Charge experiences to bidirectional energy systems that better connect EVs with the grid. ”

Using Versinetic’s communication stacks and hardware modules, manufacturers can enable:

  • Plug and Charge functionality, enabling automatic vehicle authentication and contract-based authorisation without RFID cards or mobile apps.

  • Encrypted communications using Transport Layer Security (TLS) to secure the exchange of sensitive vehicle and contract data.

  • Vehicle-to-grid (V2G) readiness through support for ISO 15118-20 and bidirectional charging.

  • Advanced AC charging applications, extending ISO 15118 functionality beyond DC fast charging into workplace and residential infrastructure.

The company’s engineering team has more than a decade of experience in EV and green technology systems, with a focus on modular hardware and software designed to simplify charger integration and support evolving industry standards.
