  • US Government has announced a new charging framework Next year, EV owners will simply be able to plug in and walk away Should end frustrating apps, RFID cards and payment processes Charging electric vehicles in North America is about to get a whole lot easier next year,

The article from MSN discusses the upcoming introduction of a universal plug-and-charge protocol for electric vehicles (EVs) in the U.S., set to be implemented by 2025. This protocol, known as ISO 15118-20, aims to simplify the EV charging process by allowing vehicles to automatically authenticate, charge, and pay for electricity without the need for multiple apps or cards. This standardization is expected to resolve the current "nightmare" of incompatible charging systems, where drivers often face issues with different connectors, payment methods, and network access. The initiative is supported by major automotive and tech companies like BMW, Ford, and ChargePoint, and is part of a broader effort to enhance the EV charging infrastructure, making it more user-friendly and efficient, thereby encouraging wider adoption of electric vehicles.
