Keysight EV EVSE Charging Test Solutions in Europe's First CharIN CCS Test System Laboratory - DEKRA

The electric vehicle (EV) market is growing rapidly with the latest European Council confirming the phasing-out of internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles by 2035. The EV charging infrastructure must expand to support the growth of the sales of EVs. Consumers expect to recharge their EVs just as quickly as refilling their internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles with gasoline or diesel. This technological change means that the charging process needs to be convenient. This case study shares how DEKRA deploys Keysight EV charging test solutions in Europe’s First CharIN combined charging system (CCS) test system laboratory to accelerate conformance testing and interoperability certification of charging stations.
