EV makers face complex systems and high testing costs. New test platforms make production faster, lower costs, and ensure EVs work across vehicles and chargers.
Automakers and EVSE manufacturers face pressure to meet rising EV demand. The IEA forecasts electric car sales will exceed 20 million units in 2025, over 25% of global car sales, and more than 40% by 2030. Challenges include fragmented system architectures that slow development, inconsistent power and charging standards that increase integration costs, uncertainty in future charging trends, and high testing expenses that strain budgets and limit innovation.
Keysight Technologies’ expanded end-of-line (EOL) test portfolio addresses these challenges with the EV2020B EV Manufacturing Functional Test Platform and the EV2020BE EV Manufacturing Functional Test Platform for EVSE. Together, these platforms provide a scalable, flexible approach to production testing, accelerating time-to-market, reducing costs, and ensuring readiness for evolving industry standards. They offer manufacturers a standardized, unified solution that streamlines fragmented system architectures and simplifies integration across power conversion systems, including DC-DC converters, on-board chargers, and EVSE.
The EV2020B is designed to adapt to the diverse and evolving needs of EV manufacturers. Whether testing a DC-DC converter, an on-board charger, or both, the platform offers customizable configurations to meet specific functional test requirements. With built-in flexibility and comprehensive toolsets, EV2020B enables manufacturers to validate performance, ensure compliance, and streamline production—all within a single, scalable solution.
The EV2020BE streamlines EVSE testing with a unified platform supporting both AC and DC charging standards. Its modular charging interface allows rapid swap-outs, enabling quick turnaround and minimizing production downtime. With dynamic power sharing for the dual-gun EVSE simulation, it can emulate peak load conditions to validate performance and optimize energy distribution on dual-gun EVSE.
By aligning early design validation with production testing, Keysight provides manufacturers with a seamless experience across the entire product lifecycle. This consistent ecosystem of tools, workflows, and insights helps manufacturers innovate confidently, delivering reliable, energy-efficient EV systems that perform consistently and maintain compatibility across vehicles and charging environments.
