EVSE, EV and BMS testers that find faults before release.

The test platform for EVSE, EV and BMS teams that need evidence before release – instead of a lab full of single instruments.

Simulate vehicles, chargers or battery cells and evaluate the results automatically.

“We ensure high-quality test results with the right test equipment.”

Built for standards. Designed for people.

We started because the test system we needed didn't exist.

comemso is owner-led and investor-free. We develop, build and support every system in Ostfildern, Germany, and work in the standards groups whose rules we test against. That is why every system ships with the people who built it: our engineers answer your support calls.

EV, EVSE and BMS test systems for your team.

ISO 15118-20, IEC 61851-23:2023, MCS, NACS and AFIR now land in the same product cycles, and every vehicle meets more chargers and firmware versions than any lab has tested. Teams that test against those profiles before release ship on schedule. Teams that find out in the field pay for it in recalls and firmware rollbacks. Here is how each team keeps up.

EVSE manufacturers

Release every charger version with traceable evidence.

Firmware spans standard editions and vehicle fleets, and interoperability has to work in everyday charging.

Systems: EVCA ComOnly, EVCA Flex, test libraries, comframe, Easy Chester EOL

“…we have achieved excellent results in our validation and certification process.”

OEM and Tier 1

Validate vehicle behaviour and BMS fault responses before release.

Vehicle and charger variants multiply, and BMS tests need controlled faults without putting real cells at risk.

Systems: EVCA (EV tester), Battery Cell Simulator (BMS tester), comframe

“comemso offers the ability to test and measure your system on a cell level with high precision.”

Test labs and certification

Run reproducible charging tests for each customer project.

Devices and standards change between projects, and every report needs traceable, reproducible evidence.

Systems: EVCA Flex, EVCA Multi Mobile, EVCA Interop, comframe

“…umlaut has once again upgraded the EFECT with comemso hardware.”

Charge point operators and service

Commission, inspect and calibrate charging points with documented results.

Public charging adds operational requirements, and inspections and energy measurements need traceable results.

Systems: Easy Chester Micro (AC), Easy Chester Ultimate (AC/DC), Easy Chester Calimera

“…we can guarantee our customers quick service calls and feedback on the reliable functioning of their charging points.”

Michael Borowski Head of Product Management Electromobility, synfis

Three platforms for charging and battery tests.

Each platform is configured for your device, interfaces and test depth.

Easy Chester: EVSE tester

Tests charging stations in production, commissioning, service and calibration, with guided test sequences and documented results.

Battery Cell Simulator: BMS tester

Sets controlled cell voltages and sensor states for BMS tests, from a 24-channel bench to high-voltage HiL.

Specialised systems

comframe software

Turn charging behaviour into test evidence.

EVCA and comframe record charging communication and electrical values on one timeline and check them against configured standard requirements.

Automated standards analysis

Flags deviations by standard edition, message and charging phase, so you can plan targeted follow-up tests.

Charge Playback: EV and EVSE simulation

Record a real charging pair once and repeat the partner behaviour in the lab with EVCA as EV emulator or EVSE simulator, without the original vehicle or charger.

  1. Record the real charging pair
  2. Use the partner behaviour
  3. Test the device again

Results from customer projects.

EVSE development

How an EVSE team validated its precharge correction.

A comframe analysis of an EVCA recording helped the customer adjust control parameters. A retest confirmed the correction.

BMS testing

From 24 cells to two systems with 132 cell channels each.

A BESS project expanded its BMS testing capacity as its requirements grew.

Calibration

Charging station calibration directly in the field.

The Czech Metrology Institute calibrates charging stations at the charging point.

Supported from the start.

From selection and commissioning to training, support, calibration and maintenance. Your support contacts work directly with the people who designed your system.

Guides and tools for e-mobility testing.

Whitepaper, BMS, English

Prepare your BMS tests.

Plan tests with guidance on temperature, simulation and wiring.

Checklist, EVSE, English

Test charging points systematically.

Prepare commissioning and field tests with the EVSE checklist.

Calculator, operations, English

Estimate charger downtime.

Estimate downtime and service costs from your own assumptions.

Plan your next e-mobility test.

Describe your device, interfaces and objectives, and we will define a suitable test setup with you.

Test coverage depends on the system configuration, software version, released standard edition and licence; the product pages describe the details. Automated standards analysis does not replace formal conformance testing. Certification and validation scopes are listed under Quality and certifications.
