chargebyte -
start with EV controller on RTOS - ev side in production in march
question should we come up with a proposal? adapt or build a new evse manager module? - ideally sync with cc
theodore bohn - we need a diagram - what modules are where in everest
on charin vector may bring a new testing system
spatial map of EVerest
new drawings for CCS modules
new drawings for MCS
ideally have semi-open HW for EVerest MCS
TODO: rewrite some of the low-level ducumentation bullet list
need for configurable base controller - much desired
Hard to find Everest documentation
Roger - biggest difference probably in low-level HW implementation

Intro:
Introduction round of people/companies and plans for MCS of each
...
Roadmap:
Non of companies in the call have the development of MCS as top prio.
It is seen as something they need this year, but not in Q1/Q2.
WattEV/Charge America is working on MCS with 4 deployed MCS stations (1.2MW) and working on implementing MCS comms into these systems (using CCS DIN/ISO)
MCS impact on EVerest:
Discussed what would need to be developed to get MCS Support in EVerest
The IEC 61851 PWM CP/PP implementation is not part of EVerest.
PIONIX has an open source example implementation for the BelayBox.
For MSC this would need a new/updated implementation for the new way MSC works.
