In the era of Electric Vehicles, Chroma leads the industry as a pioneer, ensuring charging safety!
Japan, a global leader in promoting electric vehicles, has launched a new automotive development strategy. It plans to reduce the number of new gasoline-powered passenger vehicles sold in Tokyo to zero by 2030, shifting instead to the sales of pure electric vehicles (EVs) and fuel cell vehicles, among others, to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Additionally, Japan is considering a ban on the sale of new gasoline-powered vehicles around 2035, transitioning support to hybrid and electric vehicles.
l In 2020, Mitsubishi Motors announced its new energy strategy for the next decade, aiming for new energy vehicles - including hybrids, plug-in hybrids, and pure electric vehicles - to account for 50% of its global sales by 2030. At the same time, the emissions from new vehicles are targeted to be reduced by 40% compared to 2010 levels.
l As early as 2019, Toyota unveiled its plan to achieve annual global sales of 5.5 million electrified vehicles by 2025. The company also intends to launch more than 10 pure electric vehicle models in the Chinese market.
l Honda has further raised its sales target for electric vehicle models to 75% of its total sales.
The healthy development of the electric vehicle industry relies heavily on the supporting infrastructure and the refinement of charging systems. Charging compatibility is a critical aspect of this - ensuring the ability of different types of electric vehicles to correctly connect, communicate, and complete charging with charging piles from various suppliers.
However, the construction and development of charging piles and stations are closely tied to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. Among these factors, charging compatibility between electric vehicles and charging piles is particularly crucial, as it directly impacts users' trust in the safety of electric vehicle charging.
Chroma (Chroma ATE Inc.) offers advanced solutions in the field of electric vehicle testing. Its electric vehicle charging compatibility test system boasts the following features and technological advantages:
Comprehensive Standard Coverage: The system supports mainstream global DC charging specifications, such as Japan’s CHAdeMO, Europe and America’s CCS (Combo), and China’s GB/T (National Standard). It comes with built-in test items tailored to these standards while also allowing users to customize test programs according to specific requirements.
Modular and Integrated Design: Built on the Chroma 8000 ATS (Automatic Test System) platform, the system adopts a modular architecture. It integrates a wide range of testing instruments, including AC/DC power supplies, power meters, signal generators, oscilloscopes, AC/DC charging simulation controllers, and AC/DC loads.
Abnormal Scenario Simulation: A standout feature of the system is its ability to simulate various normal and abnormal conditions during the charging process (e.g., introducing anomalies during parameter configuration, charging, and charging termination phases). This ensures that electric vehicles respond appropriately, thereby enhancing charging reliability and safety.
Industry Recognition: Chroma’s charging test solutions have been adopted by leading automotive manufacturers in Japan and South Korea, as well as customers in China, assisting their R&D departments in validating charging technology and quality. This ensures the charging reliability and safety of vehicles destined for export markets.
Japan’s national strategy and automotive goals in the electric vehicle sector demonstrate its strong commitment to electrification. The advancement of charging infrastructure and reliable charging compatibility are fundamental to supporting this transition. With its comprehensive, advanced, and reliable automated testing solutions for EV charging compatibility, Chroma (Chroma ATE Inc.) provides critical technical support to numerous global automakers, charging pile manufacturers, and related R&D institutions. By ensuring charging safety and promoting the healthy development of the electric vehicle industry, Chroma plays an indispensable role in the ecosystem.
