The CharIN Testival NORTH AMERICA 2024 in California is a hands-on, three-day event organized by CharIN, the non-profit association promoting the interoperability of global charging solutions for all types of electric vehicles (EVs).
The Testival is hosted by Wattev. a California-based company, is recognized for its leadership in the zero-emission heavy-duty transportation sector. Through its pioneering Truck-as-a-Service, transport solutions, and charging depots, WattEV enables fleets to switch to battery-electric vehicles seamlessly. WattEV's charging depots are strategically located along major transportation corridors - making an immediate impact on surrounding communities.
At the CharIN Testival, stakeholders from across the e-mobility value chain come together to test the interoperability of a variety of electric vehicles, charging stations, and communication controllers. The event will focus on improving EV charging standards to help scale EV charging infrastructure and improve the customer experience.

About CharIN
Empowering the next level of green mobility and energy.
We are the leading global association with over 300 members dedicated to promote standards in the field of charging systems for charging EVs of all types in as many parts of the world.
Cross-industry, global, non-profit and holistic ...
Under the CharIN (Charging Interface Initiative e. V.) umbrella, cross-industry stakeholders like automakers, charging station manufacturers, component suppliers, energy providers, grid operators, and many others continue moving towards interoperable charging, where vehicles, chargers, and software systems work together and to make the user experience reliable, easy and smooth.
CharIN´s holistic approach is not limited to passenger cars. Its international community is comprised of leading global companies representing every link to the e-mobility value chain and multiple experts who have been working together as a team to drive the requirements of charging all kinds of electric vehicles.
Besides several further topics and activities, during the last three years, a special Task Force has been extending the scope to Commercial Vehicles and thus, setting requirements and standards for the development of the Megawatt Charging System (MCS). In the close future, the MCS shall also be used to charge other heavy-duty vehicles like e-ferries, ships, and planes.
CharIN is a non-profit organization and open to any company worldwide being involved in the business around e-mobility.
CharIN´s next goal is to define requirements for the evolution of CCS (Combined Charging System) related standards and for the certification of CCS based products.
