Validation tests on EV charging station
With the objective of the transition to all-electric, the 6NAPSE Group supports manufacturers and integrators of EV charging stations. Our engineering office qualifies and validates the equipment.
There are currently more than 16.5 million electric vehicles on the road worldwide, according the International Energy Agency (IEA). As of 2021, there were estimated to be 1.8 million public charging points globally. This turning point is part of a regulatory context in favor of the Ecological Transition.
Thus, manufacturers are anticipating their exit from the heat engine. Indeed, Renault has announced a target of 90% of its electric sales in 2030. PSA announces a target of 70% of electric and plug-in hybrid sales in 2030.
To support this boom in electric vehicles around the world, more and more electric charging stations are being installed in the vehicle fleet. These are also referenced and mapped online for users.
Charging stations for electric vehicles (EV) will continue to expand in lots of cities across the world for the next years.
Manufacturers and integrators of electric charging stations wish to validate their product according to standards for their launch. Power or electrical energy transfer systems are indeed subject to specific environments that should be anticipated. No matter if it rains or shines, electric charging stations must be foolproof!
Validation tests on EV charging station
The 6NAPSE Group carries out validation tests for charging stations according to specifications and regulatory standards:
- Transport vibration testing: simulation of the jolts that the equipment may undergo during transport to its installation area
- Seismic simulation: resistance of the bollard to earthquakes, particularly in regions at risk
- IP waterproof tests: washing of the charging station, rainy weather, wind, hail, weather, climate change (season, position in the world)
- IK impact tests: kick, impact from a two- or four-wheeled vehicle, falling object
- Climatic tests, salt spray: weather, humidity, location (local climate all over the world), maritime transport or installation by the sea of the terminal
- Mechanical testing (cylinders, robot arm) ex: insertion and extraction of connectors, wiring
- Acoustic tests ISO 3744: sound power, sound energy level, sound field, sound pressure
Additional expertises
