Abstract:

This test suite specification (TSS) provides organizations that are testing dc quick chargers for use with electric vehicles performance with a suite of unambiguous test plans. This TSS further provides requirements for equipment used for the testing of dc quick chargers, requirements for the measurements, observations and/or document evidence that are to be recorded in a final test report. Test plans and requirements in this TSS are more specific than requirements of the standard for dc quick charger performance. The standard specifies the test environments for the dc quick charger under test and the performance limits that must be met by the charger, but neither specifies the test procedure to be used nor the specific calculations made to determine charger performance. Without specific test procedures and calculations, tests that are implemented by different test designers may yield different results.
