Gridtest's European test system has been thorough evaluated by leading EV and EVSE companies across Europe.

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif.  October 15, 2012  Gridtest® Systems, Inc. (www.gridtest.com), the first global manufacturer of Electric Vehicle (EV) infrastructure test systems that validate functionality, safety and interoperability of EV charging stations, will debut its new European Electric Vehicle (EV) test system following several customer evaluation sales. Gridtest will demonstrate its European EV Emulation Software Suites to the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) market for the first time in Hall B2, Stand 214 at eCarTec in Munich, October 23 through 25.

"Our European product was launched in response to the enormous demand for interoperability and safety testing among both EV car manufacturers and the EVSE community throughout Europe," said Neal Roche, CEO of Gridtest Systems. "The feedback we've received from our European customers indicates that testing with Gridtest's system is becoming an integral step in the development, deployment and maintenance of both EVs and EVSE throughout the European Union."

Gridtest's European EV test systems help identify critical interoperability and safety issues in European EVSE in the lab or deployed in the field. These previously undetected issues have caused some EVs to fail to charge at certain EVSEs, and have led to systematic safety testing failures of some widely deployed charging stations. Gridtest's EV test system, fully CE certified by TÜV SÜD America, comprehensively tests charging stations for compliance with the IEC 61851 charging standard.

Gridtest's test systems perform rigorous diagnostics including interoperability testing, and advanced GFI/RCD testing, to comprehensively ensure that products meet international standards. By emulating specific EVs on behalf of vehicle OEMs, Gridtest's products can eliminate the need to ship current and prototype EVs to the field for testing. Detailed customizable reporting can be exported into standard formats and archived for future analysis and comparison. Gridtest provides the industry's only truly independent EV charger test platform designed to verify, track and ensure safe installation and operation of EV charging stations in the field, ensuring that an EV charging station will work properly the first time, eliminating the need for multiple truck rolls and onsite troubleshooting.
