This SAE Recommended Practice J2953/1 establishes requirements and specification by which a specific Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) and Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) pair can be considered interoperable. The test procedures are further described in J2953/2. Purpose This document assembles and clarifies the requirements for multiple levels of interoperability as defined in related PEV charging standards (listed below). It provides support for charging systems which are developed according to SAE J1772 and may also implement the digital communication requirements within SAE J2836 and SAE J2847 standards. There is also support for SAE J2931 which identifies the vehicle to grid requirements and protocols as various options are available to the consumer and utility. This document also functions as a tool for documenting interoperability issues and standards gaps that can be communicated to standards committees@ ultimately leading to refining vehicle charging related SAE standards. Rational Analyzing the number of real world PEV- EVSE combinations that show interoperability will give insight on the effectiveness of the vehicle charging related SAE standards in terms of interoperability. Using single component testing one can already see that there are inconsistencies between manufacture supply equipment and inconsistencies between manufacture Plug-In Electric Vehicles. Combining both components into a system allows one to discover how these inconsistencies can interact to affect the system's ability to perform correctly.
