10 Connecting to the EVCC Simulator

Testing was performed using the open source EcoG ISO 15118 EVCC stack: https://github.com/EcoG-io/iso15118 .

This Python-based implementation, managed with Poetry, runs the EV side locally, enabling the user to test the charger's ISO 15118 and Plug & Charge processes without a physical vehicle.

Once evse_app is running on the target, it waits for a connection from the EVCC simulator.

To connect to the EVCC simulator:
  1. Start the EVCC application on the host machine:
    make run-evcc
  2. The EVCC simulator connects to the SECC and starts exchanging SDP and other ISO 15118-2 messages.
