U.S. Joint Office of Energy and Transportation Partners With Linux Foundation Energy to Improve Reliability and Interoperability of EV Charging Nationally
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- LF Energy is partnering with the U.S. Joint Office of Energy and Transportation (Joint Office) to build an open source reference implementation for electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. LF Energy's EVerest project will develop and maintain an open source software stack for energy communications across charging stations, vehicles, generation resources, batteries, adjacent chargers, power grids, backend payment systems, user interfaces, and mobile devices. This will reduce instances of incompatibility that result from proprietary systems and make charging more reliable for EV drivers.
- This will reduce instances of incompatibility that result from proprietary systems and make charging more reliable for EV drivers.
- Reliable charging is key to ensuring that anyone can confidently choose to ride or drive electric.
- Reliability and interoperability issues often stem from a lack of standardization that can impede communications between the vehicle and charger, or payment processing.
- LF Energy EVerest is an open source modular framework for EV charging, consisting of multiple modules which can be configured and customized for any necessary use case.
