✦ AI Summary
EVSIS, Lotte Innovate's electric vehicle charging subsidiary, said it will participate in a technology demonstration of the automatic electric vehicle charging and payment service (PnC) for public charging environments hosted by the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment.
EVSIS has commercialized PnC services on its own operating platform and expanded the foundation for application to public charging infrastructure by applying an authentication and security framework based on the international standard ISO 15118.
EVSIS conducted compatibility tests on 6 brands, including Hyundai Motor, Kia, KGM, Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW, and plans to expand into an integrated charging solutions business based on these results.
EVSIS, the electric vehicle charging subsidiary of Lotte Innovate, announced on the 1st that it will participate in a technology demonstration of the automatic electric vehicle charging and payment service for public charging environments, known as Plug&Charge (PnC), hosted by the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment. EVSIS has already commercialized PnC services on its own operating platform.
PnC technology automatically authenticates between a vehicle and a charger when an EV is connected to a charging cable, and charging begins after the authentication is completed. As a result, users do not need to tag a membership card or go through separate authentication on a mobile app, allowing them to charge immediately.
EVSIS supplies charging solutions to North American charging point operators (CPOs) such as EVCS and ChargeLab. Based on this, EVSIS is pushing ahead with efforts to strengthen its competitiveness in the global charging market.
In this public PnC technology demonstration, EVSIS applied an authentication and security framework based on the international standard ISO 15118. Implementation elements included protection of authentication data, certificate management, and communication security. Through the demonstration, the foundation for applying EVSIS's PnC services has expanded beyond its own charging network to public charging infrastructure.
During the service buildout process, EVSIS conducted compatibility tests on 6 EV brands in South Korea and overseas. The brands tested were Hyundai Motor, Kia, KGM, Tesla, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW. Through these compatibility tests, EVSIS confirmed the applicability of its PnC service across a range of vehicle environments and also reviewed its service scalability beyond specific manufacturers and models.
Taking this public PnC technology demonstration as an opportunity, EVSIS plans to expand beyond charging charger operations into an integrated charging solutions business. The scope of integrated charging solutions includes vehicle authentication, charging services, and security technologies. Based on its experience operating its own charging network and platform, EVSIS plans to expand future opportunities for PnC solution supply and technology collaboration.
Oh Young-sik, CEO of EVSIS, said the significance of the demonstration lies in establishing a foundation to extend PnC services, which had been operated on its own charging network, to public charging environments. He added that the company aims to provide stable PnC services based on compatibility verification with vehicles from a range of EV brands.
