  • Publication number: 20160068073
    Abstract: A charge test device lacks ability to provide electrical power for charging an electric vehicle. The test device is configured to communicate, with the vehicle, communications which electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE) having the ability to provide the electrical power for charging the vehicle would communicate with the vehicle to initiate charging of the vehicle. The EVSE may be DC fast charge EVSE having the ability to provide electrical power for DC fast charging the vehicle. The test device may be further configured to indicate responses of the vehicle to the communications communicated with the vehicle such that diagnosis of a failed charge event of the vehicle by the EVSE can be performed using the responses of the vehicle to the communications communicated with the vehicle.
