Regenerative High-Power, Electric-Vehicle Simulator & Tester
An outdoor-rated device designed to simulate an electric vehicle (EV) to test DC fast chargers or ultra-fast chargers. The solution is capable of EV communications using either CCS1 or CCS2 EV chargers.
The solution can emulate an end-to-end EV charging process up to the rated DC capacity of a charger, with or without using any battery storage system. The solution is also available as rack-mounted for indoor setups.
Features
The mobile platform offers easy transport to the site.
EV charger testing provides type test, interoperability, functional, and accuracy testing.
EV emulation uses a comprehensive library for representing EV charging patterns and charge processes.
Mobile EV charging includes an onboard medium-power EV DC fast charger with a battery supply, providing EV charging capability.
