Road vehicles - Vehicle to grid communication interface - Part 8: Physical layer and data link layer requirements for wireless communication
This document specifies the requirements of the physical and data link layer of a wireless High Level Communication (HLC) between Electric Vehicles (EV) and the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE). The wireless communication technology is used as an alternative to the wired communication technology as defined in ISO 15118‑3.
It covers the overall information exchange between all actors involved in the electrical energy exchange. ISO 15118 (all parts) are applicable for conductive charging as well as Wireless Power Transfer (WPT).
For conductive charging, only EVSEs compliant with "IEC 61851‑1 modes 3 and 4" and supporting HLC are covered by this document. For WPT, charging sites according to IEC 61980 (all parts) and vehicles according to ISO 19363 are covered by this document.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 15118-8:2018) of which it constitutes a
minor revision. The changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— DFS and/or TPC are now used instead of only DFS, see 7.2.3 and 7.3.3;

Introduction
The pending energy crisis and necessity to reduce greenhouse gas emissions has led the vehicle
manufacturers to a very significant effort to reduce the energy consumption of their vehicles. They
are presently developing vehicles partly or completely propelled by electric energy. Those vehicles will
reduce the dependency on oil, improve the global energy efficiency and reduce the total CO emissions
for road transportation if the electricity is produced from renewable sources. To charge the batteries of
such vehicles, a specific charging infrastructure is required.
Much of the standardization work on dimensional and electrical specifications of the charging
infrastructure and the vehicle interface is already treated in the relevant ISO or IEC groups. However,
the question of information transfer between the EV and the EVSE has not been treated sufficiently.
Such communication is necessary for the optimization of energy resources and energy production
systems so that vehicles can recharge in the most economic or most energy efficient way. It is also
required to develop efficient and convenient billing systems in order to cover the resulting micro-
payments. The necessary communication channel may serve in the future to contribute to the
stabilization of the electrical grid, as well as to support additional information services required to
operate electric vehicles efficiently and economically.
In ISO 15118-3, the messages exchanged between the vehicle and the infrastructure are transported
by the cable used for power transfer. With the inception of wireless power transfer technologies and
the tremendous development of wireless communication in our societies, the need for a wireless
communication between vehicle and charging infrastructure becomes imperative. This is the main
focus of this document. The relevant information on use-case definitions and network and application
protocol requirements can be found in ISO 15118-1 and ISO 15118-2, respectively.
