Additional features at Testival 2024
CharIN has extended the scope of the Testival with an additional testing option. Together with our technology partner Hubject, we offer the possibility to perform Plug & Charge end-to-end testing.
What does this mean?
In addition to the Plug & Charge Conformance Testing as part of the standard Testival ticket, you can test the interoperability of Plug & Charge under real conditions. Hubject provides a CPO backend, an eMSP service and a Plug & Charge ecosystem. The CPO Backend and the eMSP Service are connected to the Plug & Charge Ecosystem and participating EVSEs can connect to the CPO Backend via OCPP.
At the upcoming CharIN Testival, for the regular round-robin testing the provision of an Online V2G PKI for PnC via a CPMS for End2End testing use will be used. This testing option will feature a CPMS Backend, eMSP service, and Plug & Charge ecosystem, where EVSEs can connect to the CPMS Backend via the OCPP standard. Participants are required to complete the onboarding process for both EVSEs and EVs.
Additionally, an exciting new feature, Multi V2G PKI Testing, allows for testing multiple V2G PKIs at a dedicated location, requiring prior EV onboarding. The testing will be conducted at a dedicated test location where separate EVSEs or Test Systems with different V2G PKIs are prepared. Participants are required to complete the onboarding process for EVs, ensuring smooth testing procedures. The testers will receive the opportunity to sign up during the technical registration.
CharIN, in collaboration with ChargeX Consortium, is proud to support the charging industry by developing and providing a standard set of interoperability test cases. As part of the upcoming CharIN Testival NORTH AMERICA, a select subset of these testing cases will be implemented. Participants have the exclusive opportunity to engage in prescribed testing sessions, with incentives to those who choose to take part.
Prescribed testing sessions, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, offer targeted opportunities for Plug & Charge evaluation, with each session allocating 30 minutes for prescribed testing and an additional 60 minutes for ad-hoc testing (standard Testival testing). Moderated by ChargeX national lab engineers, these sessions ensure efficient handling of results data, with benefits including cash rebates, uniform testing approaches, and opportunities to influence testing processes for future advancements in charging technology.
CharIN has long advocated for the use of a complementary, native charging connector that matches the EV charge port and has previously prohibited the use of adapters as part of CharIN Testivals. However, CharIN recognizes the use of adapters will increase until the time that SDO certified, SAE J3400 compliant charging connectors are widely installed for public use in North America. Given the need for critical testing of the SAE J3400 standard, CharIN has amended its position on the use of adapters at Testivals and will allow the following compliant adapters discussed in CharIN’s statement in November 2023. These include adapters that comply with UL 2252, EV OEM approved adapters, EVSE OEM approved adapters, and CPO approved adapters. Compliance will be requested during the technical registration process.
