The look and feel of a running
RISE V2G communication session
The code for the electric vehicle communication controller (EVCC) is fully compliant to the ISO 15118-2 standard.
The code for the supply equipment communication controller (EVCC) is fully compliant to the ISO 15118-2 standard.
Functionality commonly shared between the EVCC and SECC (e.g. EXI codec, message handling, and security features) is packaged into a separate Shared folder.
All aspects of data security that come with Plug & Charge, such as digital certificates, creation and verification of digital signatures, and elliptic-curve cryptography are all contained in one well-documented SecurityUtils class.
RISE V2G allows you to set configuration properties like the network interface to use, support of TLS, supported energy transfer mode (AC or DC), and much more – both for EVCC and SECC.
All messages exchanged between the EVCC and SECC are sent as binary data (EXI). RISE V2G logs all received EXI streams to support debugging if something does not work as expected.
RISE V2G logs the XML representation of all incoming and outgoing data. This is extremely helpful for debugging purposes. Was the data received valid according to the specs? With RISE V2G it’s super easy to find out.
Extensive logging is one of the core principles behind RISE V2G. The more detailed information you get about any exchanged message, the easier it is to pinpoint the problem in an error situation. A debugging feature that saves time and headaches.
