The charging communication unit: the conversation before and during charging

Useful to know

Bosch’s vehicle charge communication unit manages communication between an electric car and the charging station. Its role concerns supported communication standards and supervision of the charging process. [1]

That differs from converting electrical energy in a charger. A physically suitable connector alone does not guarantee every additional function. Bosch presents Plug & Charge and bidirectional applications as capabilities of particular implementations. Check which features the actual car includes rather than assuming every option in the supplier’s product family is fitted.
