Electric vehicles charger as a part of home area network

With increasing oil price and environment pollution, especially in large cities, electric vehicles are getting to be more interesting than they were several years ago. Using electric vehicles in cities and large agglomerations lead to less pollution caused by common cars combustion engines (nitrogen oxides, carbon oxides, dust particles). Electric vehicles are more considerate to the environment than traditional cars even when the energy produced by non-renewable energy resources is used for their charging. The lack of the infrastructure prevents electric vehicles spreading. This paper describes standards and ideas how to integrate electric vehicle charger to the home area network. Home area network is a local part of SmartGrid network usually situated in homes. All devices connected to this network should implement several specifications. Basic requirements to charger properties are summarized.
