IEC Electric Vehicle
Manufacturer
Legal entity responsible for all the technologies inside the EV also in relation to the data communication (IEC, 2012, p. 9)
A5. Clearing House
The Clearing House acts as a roaming enabler. It can collect contractual data either from the marketplace, where the business partners can store their bilateral contracts, or can ask the involved parties by itself. Another option is, that the clearing house stores a subset of contract information in its own database. It forwards the CDR to the corresponding EVSP of a customer who has charged at a foreign location. The clearing house does the authentication of charging requests when it is asked by the EVSE operator (Green eMotion, 2013, p. 7)
