The charging experience is one of the largest differences between vehicles with a battery and vehicles with a fuel tank. The core charging requirements are established and standardized, however both the technology and applications are still in early stages of maturity. Therefore, they are subjected to intense market pressure to expand, evolve, and improve. The pace of change is fast and will be for some time.
Market differentiation, both good and bad, will be a result of attention paid to:
• reliability,
• the operator experience
• innovative new features that no one has thought of just yet
At a minimum, high product robustness is required to prevent stranding and/or frustrating drivers. Coupling that goal with the rapid development of the technology and feature sets results in the need for a rigorous validation program which must be repeated with every release - including very frequent OTA releases.
To address these increasing demands and with a high degree of testing effectiveness, AVL is introducing a product line of test equipment for charging. It delivers features that build on our proven automation and data management tools to reduce engineer attention while also staying very flexible for whichever direction the market may move in the future.
