One of the most significant recent developments is the release of UL 1741 SC, a new standard that finally clarifies how a vehicle and a charger should communicate for bidirectional power flow, according to chargedevs.com.

This means a charger certified under UL 1741 SC can, in principle, supervise any vehicle that meets SAE J3072, per the same chargedevs.com report.
