Thanks Marc! Very clear and insightful explanation of the smart charging flow , extremely valuable ! It would be even more beneficial if the charging pause/resume concepts from IEC 61851‑23 Edition 2 use cases (both EV‑ and EVSE‑initiated) could also be included. In particular, highlighting how the OCPP flow evolves when pause and resume functionality is introduced , along with a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages versus approaches such as the ChargingProfile schedule - would greatly enhance the overall understanding.

Thank you for this suggestion, Caglar. That's indeed an interesting additional angle to explore. I'll put your suggestion on my list of topics to research and write about. Can't tell you yet when exactly I'll have the time to dig deeper into it, but it's definitely noted.

I can imagine Steven, the e-mobility industry has lots in common with the telecommunications industry in terms of the maturity issues and growth pains and circles telecomms had maybe 20 years or more ago
