[...] PNNL’s controller uses wireless Zigbee-based technology to connect the device to a smart meter on the home or to other connection points on the power grid, which then communicates to the utility’s back office. DOE labs don’t often commercialize technology themselves, so companies, like communication network developers, power companies or other car makers such as ZAP, may license the technology to get into the smart charging business. A raft of companies in the private sector are working on this as well (see our chart of 10 Electric Car Smart Charging Players to Watch). [...]

[...] While it’s too early to tell which visions and business models for smart charging technologies will pan out, a number of developers are worth keeping an eye on as they begin deploying this infrastructure. One player plans to connect an onboard transmitting unit through mobile networks to a global data center, another is working on an iPhone app to offer remote control of battery charging, and a third will provide tech for connecting charging controllers to a smart meter via Zigbee-based technology. Check out all 10 over on Earth2Tech. [...]

I count only 10 here, and you are missing Etec (www.etecevs.com) who just received a huge grant from the DOE. They are probably the leader in this field and were the developers of the original charging network for the EV1.
