Vector Simplifies Charging Communication Conformance Testing for E-Vehicles

Stuttgart, GERMANY, 2020-10-20 – A leading provider in the testing sector, Vector has expanded its E-Mobility Testing Solution to include the new CANoe Test Package EV. This provides users with a toolchain for the automated conformance and interoperability testing of e-vehicles based on CANoe for the first time. Effective immediately, Vector is offering the possibility to perform conformance and interoperability testing for e-vehicles based on the DIN 70122, ISO 15118 and GB/T 34658 test specifications. The comprehensive test cases run automatically and are only possible thanks to the CANoe Test Package EV. The test process is easy to perform and is supported by a powerful toolchain. Due to the included source files, the test cases are transparent and even modifiable using vTESTstudio, while CANoe handles operation of the test hardware and automated test execution. This concept enables a continuous testing environment with maximum benefit and minimum effort for users. The test cases of the CANoe Test Package EV are an important component of the Vector E-Mobility Testing Solution and can be used in all phases of development: from the software level with vVIRTUALtarget to the controller level using the VT System to the complete e-vehicle using a test system with an integrated power element. The comprehensive functionality of these tools provide full flexibility. Thanks to the openness of CANoe, the existing test hardware can be reused by third parties, for example. This eliminates the need for additional investment. Using the test cases from the CANoe Test Package EV, users in the e-mobility sector are able to fully utilize the potential of Vector testing tools while sustainably increasing their product quality. For the next step, an introduction of the CANoe Test Package EVSE for charging stations is planned. This provides comparable test cases based on the same tool chain.
