SAE J2836 Communication Task Force – Rich Scholer, Ford Motor Company
A presentation in 2008 going over decisioning between conductive charging (J1772) and inductive charging (J1773) as well as changes in the charging connector. J1772 won out over the inductive charging – during the EV Mandate Era there were competing charging standards that interfered with EV adoption. It means conductive charging won over inductive charging, and there was a connector change.
Smart grid interaction is now seen as a high priority.
J2836 Objectives
- Smart charging (active load management)
- Bi-directional energy transfer (V2G)
- Synchronize with new J1772
- New vehicle architectures: PHEV, EV and plug-in fuel cell (PFCV)
- New battery technologies and packaging methods
- New utility and customer premise equipment options
- Advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)
- Home-area networks (HAN)
- New communication options
- The primary purpose of J2836 is grid-optimized energy transfer for plug-in electric vehicles — that is, ensuring that vehicle operators have sufficient energy for driving, while enabling the delivery of that energy to vehicles in methods that offer operators a lower cost of energy and maximizes grid reliability.
- The purpose of J2847 is to document the set of use cases that will generate functional & non-functional requirements, leading to system requirements in J2836.
