Conventional propulsion systems and the infrastructure are only loosely connected, while plug-in electrified vehicles are strongly connected to the infrastructure. New standards and norms regarding connections, communication, safety, etc. had to be established between OEMs and the industry in recent years. It is desirable to move charging test activities to a controlled test environment to reduce test costs, accelerate development, improve V&V, and enhance quality and customer experience.
Simulated charging enables testing of various communication protocols as well as misuse or failures/malfunctions of charging stations. For AC charging, different mains supplies can be tested depending on the region, e.g. JP, US and EU.
Complying With Current and Future Standards
DC: CCS1, CCS2, CHAdeMO, GB/T, NACS | AC: Type 1, Type 2, GB/T, NACS | In future: ChaoJi, MCS.
Performance Testing
Validation on system level during high-power charging.
Communication Testing
Focus on communication manipulation and failure emulation with extended edge-testing.
Covering User Expectations
Targeting the need for conformity and interoperability.
Reducing Testing Operation Efforts
Bi-directional charging and emulated disconnect of charging plug with AVL‘s automation system integration.
The flexible system enables testing of charging processes for electric vehicles. This allows our customers (OEMs, Tier 1) to perform good tests, which reflect the behavior of a successful battery charge at a charging station, as well as error tests, such as checking the reactions of the vehicle to these situations in the event of error messages.
Bidirectional charging is also possible: it will be required in the context of new standards and can already facilitate your testing process. Conformance and interoperability tests can also be automated and integrated into the system.

Easy to Integrate
Seamless integration into existing AVL testbeds to upgrade to e-mobility testing environment.
Ensure Vehicle Mobility
Priorizing quality and charging process realize a safe, reliable, successful charging process.
High-Power Charging and Testing
Meet the global trend of shortening charging times.
Optimized Operations
Increase automized functional testing to reduce after-sales costs.
Communication Test
The communication between charging station and vehicle can be analyzed and tested. If necessary, the communication can be influenced or the reaction can be checked if a problem occurs during the charging process.
High Power and Bi-Directional Charging
Our powerful AVL E-STORAGE not only enables supply over the entire range (voltage, current, power) of charging applications, but is also prepared for the increasingly important bidirectional testing.
AC Emulation
The optional use of a power supply emulator makes it possible to test different power supplies by region, e.g. JP, US and EU. With this tool it is also possible to emulate phase failures and frequency fluctuations.
Highly Automatable
Specific load test packages can be executed automatically with the test system. It is also possible to simulate the plugging process of the charging connector.
Our Vehicle Charging TS™ is the ideal tool to enable testing of different communication protocols, and misuse or malfunctions of charging stations. With it you can reduce test costs, and accelerate development times.”
