The SAE J2954 standard establishes an industry-wide specification that defines acceptable criteria for Light Duty EVs and SAE RP J2954/2 establishes the same for Heavy Duty. SAE RP SAE J2954. SAE RP J2954/3 establishes interoperability, electromagnetic compatibility, EMF, minimum performance, safety, and testing for dynamic wireless power transfer (D-WPT) of both light and heavy duty plug-in electric vehicles. The specification defines various charging levels that are based on the levels defined for SAE J1772 conductive AC charge levels as SAE J2954/1 & SAE J2954/2 with some variations. A standard for WPT based on these charge levels enables selection of a charging rate based on vehicle requirements, thus allowing for better vehicle packaging and ease of customer use. SAE J2954/3 addresses unidirectional charging, from grid to vehicle; bidirectional energy transfer may be evaluated for a future standard.

This SAE J3072 Standard establishes requirements for a grid support inverter system function which is integrated into a plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) which connects in parallel with an electric power system (EPS) by way of conductively coupled, electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). This standard also defines the communication between the PEV and the EVSE required for the PEV onboard inverter function to be configured and authorized by the EVSE for discharging at a site. The requirements herein are intended to be used in conjunction with IEEE 1547 and IEEE 1547.1. This standard shall also support interactive inverters which conform to the requirements of IEEE 1547-2003 and IEEE 1547.1-2005, recognizing that many utility jurisdictions may not authorize interconnection.

This SAE Information Report provides test methods and determination options for evaluating the maximum wheel power and rated system power of vehicles with electrified vehicle powertrains. The scope of this document encompasses passenger car and light- and medium-duty (GVW <10000 pounds) hybrid-electric vehicles (HEVs), plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), battery electric vehicles (BEVs), and fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEVs). These testing methods can also be applied to conventional ICE vehicles, especially when measuring and comparing wheel power among a range of vehicle types. This document version includes a definition and determination methodology for a rated system power that is comparable to traditional internal combustion engine power ratings (e.g., SAE J1349 and UN ECE R85). The general public is most accustomed to “engine power” and/or “motor power” as the rating metric for conventional and electrified vehicles, respectively.

The published SAE J2954 standard established an industry-wide specification that defines acceptable criteria for interoperability, electromagnetic compatibility, EMF, minimum performance, safety, and testing for wireless power transfer (WPT) for light-duty plug-in electric vehicles.

This SAE Information Report SAE J2836/6 establishes use cases for communication between plug-in electric vehicles and the EVSE for wireless energy transfer as specified in SAE J2954. It addresses the requirements for communications between the on-board charging system and the wireless EV supply equipment (WEVSE) in support of detection of the WEVSE, the charging process, and monitoring of the charging process. Since the communication to the charging infrastructure and the power grid for smart charging will also be communicated by the WEVSE to the EV over the wireless interface, these requirements are also covered. However, the processes and procedures are expected to be identical to those specified for V2G communications specified in SAE J2836/1. Where relevant, the specification notes interactions that may be required between the vehicle and vehicle operator, but does not formally specify them.

SAE J2847/6 establishes minimum requirements for communication between an electric vehicle and an inductive battery charging system for wireless power transfer (WPT). Where relevant, this document notes—but does not formally specify—interactions between the vehicle and vehicle operator. This document leverages the work of the SAE J2954 Alignment and Controls Sub-Team in the Wireless Power Transfer and Alignment Task Force by extending a JSON-based message set (protocol) originally developed to bench test wireless energy transfer interoperability between unmatched Ground Assembly (GA) and Vehicle Assembly (VA) systems (i.e., components manufactured by different companies). SAE J2847/6 furthers that work by adding messages sufficient to indicate that proper coil alignment has been achieved, initialize the sub-systems for wireless charging, ramp-up to full power, perform active wireless power transfer, and terminate the WPT session.
