Keysight Technologies has announced two new EV charging test solutions designed to support the industry’s move to high-power and megawatt-level charging.

The company explains that the rapid growth of electrification is driving demand for charging infrastructure capable of supporting everything from fast charging for passenger vehicles to megawatt-level charging for heavy-duty transport and industrial fleets. At the same time, engineers and manufacturers face increasing complexities due to interoperability challenges, stringent safety requirements, and the need to comply with evolving international standards such as MCS, CCS, ISO 15118, GB/T and CHAdeMO.

The SL2600 A Megawatt Charging Discovery System enables validation of megawatt charging for heavy-duty applications, supporting voltages up to 1,500 V and currents up to 1,500 A. Its modular, upgradable architecture allows engineers to test both EVs and charging stations within a single system.

The enhanced SL1047A Scienlab Charging Discovery System—High‑Power Series delivers software‑scalable performance starting at 400 A and 1,000 V, and can be expanded up to 800 A and 1,500 V without hardware replacement. It supports all global charging standards, including full compliance with GB/T 2024. It also introduces enhanced charging communication test capabilities, featuring significant improvements and extended functionality to address increasingly complex EV charging requirements. 

“The transition to high-power and megawatt-level charging is a pivotal moment for the EV industry,” said Thomas Goetzl, Vice President and General Manager for Keysight’s Automotive & Energy Solutions. “Our latest test solutions give manufacturers and engineers the confidence to innovate quickly and deliver reliable charging systems that meet global standards.”
