Smart grid technology can be considered as one of the most advanced, revolutionary and challenging technology of the present era. It is an assimilation of an electric grid network with information and communication network. Deployment of smart grid can address many issues such as reliability of power supply, GHG emission, efficiency of power supply, dependence on fossil fuels, integration of renewable energy resources, consumer participation, etc. An intelligent transportation system is the upcoming technology all over the world. An intelligent transportation system includes automation, control and management of vehicular system to address the issues related to traffic, congestion, accidents and pollution. It also includes development of plug-in vehicles along with an automation of transportation. A plug-in vehicle is an integral part of smart grid technology. Smart grid technology and plug-in vehicles both emphasize on the issues of GHG emission and renewable integration. A plug-in vehicle can be classified into plug-in electric vehicle and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle. Integration of plug-in vehicle with smart grid infrastructure can improve the efficacy, reliability and consistency of the grid. The vehicle to smart grid infrastructure can facilitate bidirectional communication between electric vehicle (EV) and smart grid infrastructure. It is a crucial technology for grid stability due to flexible control and a huge storage capability of electric vehicle along with grid integrated renewable energy resources. Integration of plug-in vehicles and smart grid network includes two prominent technologies for electric power flow and communication signal flow. This chapter describes an inclusive analysis of communication standards used for communication between smart grid and plug-in vehicle. It includes various types of communication interfaces such as vehicle-to-grid infrastructure, vehicle-to-vehicle as well as vehicle-to-everything for vehicular communication in the smart grid environment.
