Additional features at Testival 2025

Plug & Charge powered by Hubject

CharIN has extended the scope of the Testival with an additional testing option. Together with our Strategic Plug & Charge Testing 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.

Multi-PKI Testing

At the upcoming CharIN Testival, for the regular round-robin testing the provision of an Online V2G PKI for PnC vis 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.

Prescribed Testing Program (Managed by ACM, Supported by ChargeX)

CharIN, in collaboration the ChargeX Consortium, is proud to support the development of a standardized set of interoperability test cases, an effort led by the ChargeX Testing Task Force. As part of the CharIN Testival NORTH AMERICA, a select subset of these test cases will be implemented within an optional prescribed test program. Participants have the exclusive opportunity to engage in these moderated prescribed testing sessions, with a gamification aspect integrated into the program to inspire comradery and friendly competitiveness towards interoperability challenges.

Prescribed testing sessions, scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, offered targeted opportunities for Start/Stop methods, Plug & Charge evaluation, Fault injection, and Adapter testing to be tested, with each session allocating 40 minutes for prescribed testing and an additional 50 minutes for ad-hoc testing (standard Testival testing). Managed and moderated by ACM, with the support of ChargeX national lab engineers, these sessions ensured efficient handling of results data, uniform testing approaches, and opportunities to influence testing processes for future advancements in charging technology.
