EV and EVSE test systems
EVCA Multi Mobile: portable EV and EVSE test system
Use EVCA Multi Mobile for charging tests in the laboratory, at the vehicle and in the field. Analyse a real charging pair or simulate its charging partner with the required external power equipment.
From a field finding to a repeatable laboratory test.
An EVSE (electric vehicle supply equipment, or charging station) manufacturer purchased Multi Mobile with a 3 kW laboratory source/load after a precharge investigation. About three minutes of human analysis followed the recording; setup, software work and retest took additional time.
Portable engineering system
Investigate charging behaviour at the vehicle or field site
Investigate charging behaviour where the vehicle, prototype or charging partner is available: on site, in the workshop, on the proving ground or at a test event. Keeping the DUT (device under test) in its original setting helps preserve the conditions behind a charging failure.
Bring the charging interface to the test site with EVCA Multi Mobile. Use the findings for controlled reproduction and regression tests back in the laboratory.
Use Multi Mobile for portable development, analysis and validation. EVCA Flex provides the laboratory path for tests centred on integrated high power, switching and deep electrical fault injection.
One system. Three test roles.
Simulate the vehicle, simulate the charging station or analyse the real charging pair.
EV simulation
Test the charging station.
Simulate the electric vehicle to test a real EVSE with controlled vehicle behaviour, battery requests and communication.
- Configure normal, boundary and non-conform EV behaviour.
- Measure Control Pilot (CP), HLC, timing and configured voltage/current values.
- Connect project-specific load or bidirectional power hardware where energy transfer is required.
- Execute reusable simulations, automation and supported EVSE Test Libraries.
EVSE simulation
Test the electric vehicle.
Simulate the charging station to test the real charging inlet, EVCC (vehicle-side charging communication controller), onboard charger and vehicle charging logic.
- Provide configurable SECC, signal and protocol behaviour.
- Vary messages, timing, limits, authorisation and termination.
- Connect project-specific source hardware when the vehicle must receive power.
- Correlate vehicle-side CAN data and EVCC, OBC and battery management system (BMS) reactions where integrated.
Passive or manipulating gateway
Analyse the real EV and EVSE.
Connect Multi Mobile between the charging partners. Compare their communication, measurements and behaviour on one synchronised timeline.
- Observe the real pair without replacing either implementation.
- Decode supported CCS communication, including applicable gateway access for TLS/PnC.
- Modify, delay, suppress or replace selected live information where configured.
- Record field behaviour for root-cause verification and later reproduction.
Charging-specific analysis
Showing decoded data is not the same as analysing the charging process.
Analyse the charging process by combining the physical interface, low-level signals, protocol content, timing and available electrical measurements.
Regional connector, inlet, CP, Proximity Pilot (PP), PLC (power line communication) or CAN path and auxiliary signals remain part of the measurement.
Retain sender, message content, order, state and configured TLS or certificate context.
Review message delays, state transitions and the physical reaction on the same timeline.
Correlate configured voltage, current and external measurement channels with the communication sequence.
Compare the recorded behaviour with expected limits in comframe. Highlight relevant deviations and save the analysis as test evidence.
From field recording to laboratory test
Reproduce a charging event under controlled laboratory conditions.
From a real charging event to reusable test evidence
- Connect and capture
Record protocol, signals, timing and electrical values at the real charging interface.
- Isolate the cause
Align every layer and let standards-aware analysis highlight the deviation.
- Change one variable
Modify message content or timing with the Manipulating Gateway or simulation.
- Reproduce physically
Use Charge Playback to recreate recorded behaviour at the charging interface.
- Automate regression
Save the case, vary it and run it repeatedly through Charge Cycle Automation or REST API.
Use field recordings for controlled, repeatable laboratory tests.
Shared EVCA analysis, simulation and automation
Configure the test. Do not develop the test environment from scratch.
Use the comframe analysis, simulation and automation functions available for your Multi Mobile configuration.
Relate measurements, state transitions, timing and messages to normative expectations and highlight deviations.
Configure supported message values, timing, optional sequences and deliberately non-conform behaviour.
Observe and change selected live communication while both real charging partners remain connected.
Physically reproduce recorded protocol-level EV or EVSE behaviour so the DUT interacts with a repeatable partner.
Sequence configurations and variants for repeatable campaigns, endurance work and regression.
Execute released standards-based test cases with automated steps, supported verdicts and reports.
Connect Multi Mobile to project automation, external measurement, HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) and CI workflows.

Charging technologies and standards
Configure one portable EVCA system for the charging technologies in your test programme.
Connectors, protocol versions, measurement ranges and Test Libraries are configuration-specific.
PLC-based charging
Configure Type 1, Type 2, Combo or NACS interfaces for EV, EVSE and gateway roles.
CAN-based DC charging
Use configured CHAdeMO connector, CAN communication and low-level state access in EV, EVSE or measurement roles.
Chinese DC charging
Address EV and EVSE communication for supported GB/T generations without changing to a separate analysis architecture.
Charging communication under stress
An optional EMC-compatible housing supports configured EV or EVSE test roles while the DUT is exposed to conducted or radiated stress.
ISO 15118-20 communication, Plug and Charge, TLS gateway access, certificates and conformance Test Libraries require separate release confirmation.

Frequently asked questions
EVCA Multi Mobile product questions
What is EVCA Multi Mobile?
EVCA Multi Mobile is the portable system in the comemso EV Charging Analyzer/Simulator platform. It combines configured physical charging interfaces, EV and EVSE simulation, passive or manipulating gateway analysis and comframe analysis, simulation and automation for laboratory, vehicle and field tests.
Can one system test both electric vehicles and charging stations?
Yes. In EV simulation, Multi Mobile acts as the vehicle side to test a real EVSE. In EVSE simulation, it acts as the charging-station side to test a real EV. Exact interfaces, power integration and protocol releases depend on the configured system.
Can EVCA Multi Mobile analyse a real EV and a real EVSE at the same time?
Yes. In passive or manipulating gateway configurations, Multi Mobile is placed between both charging partners and correlates supported signals, protocol messages, timing and electrical measurements on one timeline. Applicable TLS access requires the corresponding gateway, certificate and release configuration.
Which charging technologies can be configured?
Published Multi Mobile configurations cover AC and DC CCS Type 1 and Type 2, NACS, CHAdeMO and GB/T DC. The quotation must state the actual connectors, protocol generations, measurement scope and Test Libraries.
Does EVCA Multi Mobile support ISO 15118-20?
ISO 15118-20 communication is available in applicable released EVCA configurations. Basic communication support, simulation depth, security functions and conformance Test Library availability are separate scopes and must be confirmed independently.
Does the system include a high-power source or load?
Not by default. Multi Mobile is optimised for portable physical-interface access, simulation and synchronised analysis. Project-specific resistive loads, sources or bidirectional power systems can be integrated. EVCA Flex is the dedicated path when scalable high-power and deep electrical fault testing are primary.
