Confidently test your EV and EVSE charging innovations

Keysight EV and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) charging test solutions ensure the safety, efficiency, and interoperability of electric vehicle charging systems. Perform real-time emulation of both EV and EVSE behavior, allowing for reproducible, independent testing without needing multiple physical devices. These solutions support high-power charging along with extensive compliance to all major global AC and DC charging standards, including CCS, CHAdeMO, GB/T, and more. Integrated communication and power analysis provides a holistic view, enabling synchronized measurement and decoding of communication signals alongside electrical parameters for rapid debugging. With a modular and scalable design, these systems are ideal for automotive engineers from R&D to end-of-line manufacturing.

Real-time emulation

Emulate the communication or electrical behavior of an EV or EVSE critical to isolate issues, test fault conditions, and avoid the need for real vehicles or chargers in the lab.

Global standard compliance

Support all major global AC and DC charging standards, including CCS, CHAdeMO, GB/T, and more, coupled with automated test case libraries for testing conformance and interoperability.

High-power charging

Designed to handle ever-increasing power levels, up to 1200 kW, 1500 V DC, and 800 A DC, enabling testing for the latest and future generations of ultra-fast chargers and large battery packs.

Robust software

Create custom scenarios, automation of test case libraries, and real-time data visualization to accelerate development cycles, improve test efficiency, and validate complex charging behaviors.

The CCS Charging Protocol Tracer (CCS Tracer) enables seamless observation of the CCS communication channel between a charging station and an electric vehicle.

Analyze the CCS Communication Traffic between the EV and EVSE

Identifying the root cause of failed charging sessions is challenging without observing or analyzing the communication channel between an electric vehicle (EV) and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE).

With the Keysight SL1556A CCS Charging Protocol Tracer (CCS Tracer), a non-invasive Power Line Communication (PLC) sniffer, observe seamlessly the Combined Charging System (CCS) communication channel to get a holistic view and increase your debugging capabilities. Analyze the CCS charging communication traces in detail
Decode CCS charging protocols straightforward Start debugging easier and quicker
Use flexible operating modes: conductive coupling via a direct Control Pilot (CP) connection or inductive coupling via the optional inductive cable clamp
