Ekoenergetyka applies delivery and shipping | electric.net

Ekoenergetyka has developed its delivery and charging functionality based on the ISO15118 standard. The integration of the technology into charging stations is “the result of years of work and testing,” according to the Zielona Gora-based company.

Specifically, the starting signal was given in 2020: work has begun since joining CharIN. A year later, the first tests were carried out with car manufacturers as part of the CharIn test, and in 2022 comprehensive tests with car manufacturers were completed to ensure vehicles were compatible with Ekoenergetyka’s Plug & Charge programme. It’s not just electric cars, but tests were also carried out with Daimler Truck’s eActros in 2022.

According to the company, the focus during development was cybersecurity. Delivery and charging rely on so-called certificates stored in the vehicle, at the charging station and at the mobility service provider. With these certificates, the vehicle can verify itself with the MSP and the charging station can start the charging process – billing is based on the stored contract. The pool of these certificates is located in Hubject. For the end customer, the charging process starts automatically after the cable is connected to the vehicle – all individual steps are performed automatically via the plug and charge system.

“Plug and charge is a technology that works like magic. The process is technologically very complex, but invisible to the customer,” says Michal Malki, Head of the Software Development Office at Ekoenergetyka. “Everything happens automatically, which makes using chargers very intuitive and easy. “

Ekoenergetyka, as a manufacturer of charging stations, also brings Plug&Charge directly into its own charging network called Ekoen. In Poland, Plug&Charge is implemented in seven HPC centers. The system must also be available to other systems, such as bus depots.
