Kikusui’s cutting-edge power testing solutions for battery, power electronics and on-board charger applications
Sponsored by Kikusui. The global electric vehicle industry is experiencing rapid growth, driving an urgent demand for power conversion systems that are not only efficient but also highly reliable. Among these, the on-board charger (OBC) is a critical component, tasked with converting alternating current (AC) from various charging infrastructures, residential, commercial, or public, into direct… Read more »
Why EV charging breaks (and how testing labs prevent it)
Ensuring charging hardware and software compatibility: Q&A with BTC Power’s Bill Seamon EV charging, like most modern technological endeavors, depends on a stack consisting of hardware, software and services, which work together to deliver the desired result. Some companies offer the full stack (e.g. Tesla, or the many companies that offer Charging as a Service),… Read more »
PPST broadens AC/DC power test portfolio with EA Elektro-Automatik battery cyclers and regenerative loads
PPST Solutions says it has been named a value-added reseller for EA Elektro-Automatik, expanding its test portfolio to cover both AC and DC power validation for electrification markets. Engineers increasingly need test coverage across the whole power-conversion chain, not just isolated AC or DC boxes. With the new arrangement, PPST now combines Pacific Power Source… Read more »
SciMo bets automated flat-wire windings can beat hand-built specialty motors in high-performance niches
In electric motor engineering, copper is king, and winding architecture is one of the main levers engineers use to balance power density, efficiency, cooling and manufacturability. Higher copper fill in the stator can reduce winding resistance and improve current loading for a given package size, but only if the design also manages the magnetic, thermal… Read more »
HeyCharge’s MagicBox retrofit adds solar optimization and load management to existing home EV chargers
HeyCharge has launched HeyCharge Connect, a new product line of retrofit adapters for existing EV chargers, and the first product—the MagicBox—is aimed at turning ordinary OCPP-compatible home wallboxes into smarter, offline-capable charging systems. The Munich company says the MagicBox plugs into any OCPP-compatible charger and connects it to HeyCharge’s SecureCharge platform without an electrician visit,… Read more »

ActionPower and its South Korean distributor RED Solutions used InterBattery 2026 to introduce two test-system products aimed at EV battery and power electronics development: the PRO20 regenerative AC programmable power supply and the NEO-PRO battery testing and cycling system. The headline product on the power side is the PRO20, a cabinet-based AC programmable supply built… Read more »
How the biggest US EV charging networks got their starts
The US charging network 2.0—The evolution of a revolution: Part 1 The US public charging “network” didn’t emerge from a single master plan. It grew out of grants, bankruptcies, corporate settlements, acquisitions—and one automaker that decided it couldn’t wait. Since the current generation of EVs emerged more than 15 years ago, the “network” of EV… Read more »
CharIN Error Codes Working Group moves to open development on GitHub
The reliability of public EV charging stations is a critical issue, and industry experts agree that establishing a standard set of error codes would be a big step in the right direction. For some years now, CharIN’s Error Codes Working Group has been on the case, working to standardize error codes and diagnostics across EVs,… Read more »
