DIN 70121

The German specification for the digital communication between an electric vehicle and a DC charger in the Combined Charging System, the forerunner of ISO 15118. Most DC chargers in Europe still speak it, so vehicles support both.

EVCC and SECC

The two ends of high-level charging communication: the electric vehicle communication controller in the vehicle and the supply equipment communication controller in the charger. They exchange limits, schedules and authorisation over power-line communication on the control-pilot wire.

ISO 15118

The communication standard between an electric vehicle and a charging station: identification, authorisation, charge scheduling and, in the −20 edition, bidirectional power transfer. It is what lets a car authenticate itself and start charging with no card or app.

SAE J1772 and IEC 62196

The standards that define charging connectors: J1772 Type 1 and the IEC 62196 Type 2 plug for AC, and the Combined Charging System that adds two DC pins below them. Europe mandates Type 2 and CCS2; North America is moving to the NACS connector.
