The CCS Charging Protocol Tracer (CCS Tracer) enables seamless observation of the CCS communication channel between a charging station and an electric vehicle.
| Applications | Charging communication test |
| Maximum power | N/A |
| Supported standards | CCS, NACS |
| Use cases | Analysis |
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.
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.
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.
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.
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).
