Pole Pro incorporates Plug & Charge with ISO 15118-2: charge your car without cards or apps

by

At V2C, we continue to move forward with a very clear objective: making electric vehicle charging increasingly simple, safe, and universal. Today, we take a key step in our commitment to innovation by announcing that our Pole Pro charger is now compatible with Plug & Charge under the ISO 15118-2 standard.

Plug & Charge: charge without cards or apps

The most outstanding feature of ISO 15118-2 is undoubtedly Plug & Charge. With this technology, the charging process on Pole Pro is as simple as it gets:

  • The user only needs to connect the cable to the vehicle.
  • The car automatically authenticates with the charger.
  • The charging session starts without the need for RFID cards, mobile apps, or any additional steps.

The entire process is carried out using encrypted digital certificates, ensuring maximum security for both the user and the infrastructure operator. The result is a seamless, fast, and completely transparent charging experience.

What is ISO 15118-2 and why is it so important?

ISO 15118-2 is the international standard that governs advanced communication between electric vehicles and charging stations. This protocol allows the car and charger to “talk” directly, securely, and in a standardised way, regardless of the manufacturer.

Thanks to this bidirectional communication, ISO 15118 lays the foundation for a truly interoperable charging infrastructure, ready for both the present and the future of electric mobility. It also introduces advanced security, authentication, and energy management mechanisms, essential for a scalable and reliable charging ecosystem.

Pole Pro: ready for today and tomorrow

With the addition of Plug & Charge to Pole Pro, we reinforce our commitment to intelligent chargers aligned with the most advanced industry standards. This milestone makes Pole Pro an ideal solution for:

  • Charging point operators (CPOs)
  • Businesses and public car parks
  • Urban and commercial environments
  • Projects seeking maximum interoperability and a premium user experience

In addition to enhancing driver convenience, ISO 15118-2 enables better infrastructure management, facilitating integration with e-mobility platforms and backend systems.

Our commitment

We will continue to develop charging solutions that are increasingly advanced, secure, and easy to use. We believe that electric mobility should not only be sustainable but also simple, accessible, and friction-free.

Pole Pro is now ready for Plug & Charge. The future of charging starts now.
