OEM Integration

What is OEM Integration?

OEM integration is the collaboration between automakers and charging providers to ensure EV chargers and vehicles communicate seamlessly, using unified standards and secure protocols.

Why OEM Integration Matters

It improves the EV user experience by enabling Plug & Charge authentication, reducing errors, streamlining payments, and aligning vehicle pre-conditioning with charging sessions.

How It Works

The vehicle communicates with the EVSE using ISO 15118 protocols. Charging is authenticated automatically, enabling secure energy delivery, smart schedules, and integrated billing without user intervention.

Key Technologies

It involves ISO 15118, OCPP protocols, telematics APIs, secure PKI infrastructure, and firmware that ensures vehicles and chargers remain interoperable across networks.

Applications

• Public fast-charging stations with Plug & Charge.

• Fleet charging with integrated vehicle management.

• Home charging with OEM apps.

• Cross-border roaming networks.

Benefits

OEM integration simplifies charging, improves uptime, ensures accurate billing, and creates a consistent experience across public and private EV charging environments.

Use Cases

It is used in Plug & Charge highways, OEM-supported apps, corporate EV programs, and vehicle-guided navigation to compatible charging stations.

Callout

OEM integration transforms EV charging into a seamless process. By connecting vehicles directly to chargers, it reduces complexity and ensures reliability, helping users trust and adopt EV technology faster.
