Thank you for sharing, I'm familiar with ISO 15118 but did not hear about that initiative with the OEMs / JOET, that's a step in the right direction... I'm skeptical however, a vast majority of the existing L2 and DCFC chargers in the US are not compatible with ISO 15118 so you'd need to replace all of those (150k+) chargers since you need both the firmware of the charger and the vehicle to implement that standard, it's super complex
