How does the billing work? I know with our Tesla it just billed our Tesla account and knew our car. How do other manufacturers using these work? Will my Volvo EX30 just talk to the Tesla equipment when I get it?

Edit: Sorry I see it says this in the article.

> Ford EVs already use the ISO 15118 "plug and charge" protocol, which means they give the charger their billing details as part of the electronic handshake, obviating the need to use an app or credit card to start a charging session.

Are the prices the same as the rates that Tesla charges for Tesla vehicles? It was really cheap for our Tesla and we loved that.



It will be billed through ford just like any other Plug & Charge station would be.

It’s not clear at the moment if you can start a session in the Tesla app and be billed that way.


Yup that’s how it works in NL. My wife uses the Tesla app to start a supercharger session with her Mach E


I believe the physical aspect is described via CCS1 and CCS2. But yes the charging cables also carries the information.

ISO 15118 does include provisions for wireless communication to support eventual wireless charging.
