Road vehicles. Vehicle-to-Grid Communication Interface. Part 2. Network and application protocol requirements
Full title and description
Road vehicles. Vehicle‑to‑Grid Communication Interface. Part 2. Network and application protocol requirements — a national (GOST R) adoption of the network and application layer requirements for Vehicle‑to‑Grid (V2G) communications between electric vehicles (BEV/PHEV) and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE).
Abstract
This standard defines the network and application‑level protocols, message sets and data model used to support energy transfer and related services between an Electric Vehicle Communication Controller (EVCC) and a Supply Equipment Communication Controller (SECC). It specifies use of XML/EXI data representation, V2GTP, TCP/IPv6 transport, and TLS for authenticated secure channels; covers both AC and DC charging scenarios and supports identification modes (e.g., EIM and Plug‑and‑Charge).
General information
- Status: Active (in force).
- Publication date: Published November 14, 2018; introduced into force June 1, 2019.
- Publisher: National standard of the Russian Federation (GOST R), prepared by NAMI (Central Automobile and Engine Research Institute) under Rosstandart.
- ICS / categories: 43.120 (Electric road vehicles / V2G communications).
- Edition / version: GOST R 58123‑2018 (adoption year 2018; aligns with ISO 15118‑2:2014 protocol content).
- Number of pages: Approximately 341–342 pages (varies by reproduction).
Scope
The standard applies to communication networks between electric vehicles (BEV or PHEV) and EVSE, specifying detection and IP connectivity requirements between EVCC and SECC and defining message flows, XML/EXI data formats, the V2GTP transport protocol, TLS security usage, TCP and IPv6 transport, and channel‑level service access from the network layer perspective. It supports message sets for AC and DC charging and for different identification/charging modes (including EIM and Plug‑and‑Charge).
Key topics and requirements
- Network and application layer protocol definitions for V2G communication (message sequences and timing requirements).
- Data model and message encoding using XML and Efficient XML Interchange (EXI).
- Transport protocols: V2GTP over TCP and IPv6; connection management and session timeouts.
- Security: TLS‑based authenticated channels (required for certain identification modes such as Plug‑and‑Charge).
- Support for AC and DC charging use cases, including meter‑data signing and charging session accounting where local rules permit.
- Interoperability notes and optional/mandatory message subsets depending on identification and charging modes (EIM vs PnC).
Typical use and users
Primary users include EV manufacturers (software and communications engineers), EVSE/charging‑station manufacturers, charging network operators and integrators, test laboratories and certification bodies, and regulators implementing interoperability and security requirements for smart charging and Plug‑and‑Charge services.
Related standards
This GOST R part corresponds to and adopts the content of ISO 15118‑2 (network and application protocol requirements) and is part of the broader ISO 15118 family (parts covering general use cases, physical/data link layers, conformance testing and additional features). It also relates to charging standards such as IEC 61851 for electrical charging interfaces and to other parts of the GOST/ISO 15118 package adopted nationally.

FAQ
Q: What is this standard?
A: GOST R 58123‑2018 is the Russian national adoption (GOST R) of the network and application layer requirements for Vehicle‑to‑Grid communication (equivalent to ISO 15118‑2), defining how electric vehicles and charging equipment communicate.
Q: What does it cover?
A: It covers protocol definitions, message sets and data formats (XML/EXI), transport and session management (V2GTP, TCP/IPv6), and security measures (TLS) required to establish and maintain V2G sessions for AC and DC charging, including support for identification modes like EIM and Plug‑and‑Charge.
Q: Who typically uses it?
A: EV and EVSE manufacturers, charging network operators, system integrators, test labs and conformity assessment organizations, and regulatory or standards bodies concerned with interoperability and secure smart charging.
Q: Is it current or superseded?
A: As published it is in force (GOST R 58123‑2018); it implements the content of ISO 15118‑2:2014 at the national level and remains the active national document as of its introduction date (June 1, 2019). Users should monitor the ISO 15118 series for subsequent editions or additional parts that may affect national application.
Q: Is it part of a series?
A: Yes — it is one part of the Vehicle‑to‑Grid Communication Interface family (ISO 15118 series). Other parts cover use cases, physical and data link layers, conformance testing and extended services (e.g., ISO 15118‑1, ‑3, ‑4, ‑8). National GOST adoptions for related parts exist or may be published separately.
Q: What are the key keywords?
A: V2G, V2GTP, EVCC, SECC, EVSE, Plug‑and‑Charge, XML/EXI, TLS, IPv6, charging protocol, ISO 15118.
