Accelerate Your Innovations in EV and EVSE Charging Technology

One of the decisive factors for the breakthrough of e-mobility is to enable all drivers to charge their electric vehicles (EVs) conveniently and safely. This places high demands on the charging interfaces at both sides of the charging adapter – at the charging station and within the vehicle. Alongside the power itself, error-free communication between the EV and EV supply equipment (EVSE) guarantees a reliable charging process. This requires standard-compliant procedures and compatible technologies.

Confidently Test Your Innovations in EV and EVSE Charging Technology

Keysight provides a comprehensive solution portfolio for developing and testing technologies involved in the charging process. Our test solutions support the latest adapters, protocols, and standards used with EV and EVSE. As power levels and standards evolve, our modular, upgradeable portfolio helps you continue to ensure conformance and interoperability around the world.

DEKRA Deploys Keysight EV / EVSE Charging Test Solutions in Europe’s First CharIN CCS Test System Laboratory

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.
