OBJECTIVE
This whitepaper delineates three critical challenges:
- Connector fragmentation spanning Bharat AC/DC-001, CCS2, and legacy CHAdeMO/GB/T;
- Protocol misalignments in OCPP 1.6–2.0.1 and ISO/IS 15118 implementations; and.
- Coordination gaps among DISCOMs, CPOs, MSPs, OEMs, and regulators.
Leveraging Europe’s AFIR-driven convergence on CCS2, ISO 15118, and OCPP 2.0.1, it proposes a pragmatic roadmap: segment-specific “anchor” standards with sunset timelines for legacy interfaces; funding/tender linkages to compliance; OEM–CPO coalitions; and rigorous three-layer testing (physical, EV-EVSE, backend) rather than bespoke protocols.
P3‘S POSITION
In the Indian market, P3 Group offers comprehensive support for OEMs, CPOs, and backend providers through its specialized interoperability testing services, including structured lab validation for AIS 17017/IS 138 compliance, root-cause analysis of session failures from 40,000+ tested combinations, and tailored test catalogs for Bharat AC/ DC, CCS2, OCPP 2.0.1, and ISO 15118—accelerating market entry, reducing 25–40% failure rates, and enabling seamless integration with DISCOM tariffs, UPI payments, and 2W/3W ecosystems.
