Built for standards. Designed for people.

The test platform for EV charging and BMS development.

EVSE tester, EV tester and BMS tester – used from the first prototype to the installed charging point.

Where in-house test benches and general-purpose instruments stop: comemso simulates the vehicle, the charger or the battery cells, records communication and electrical behaviour on one time base and checks it automatically against IEC 61851 and ISO 15118 – so you find faults before release, not in the field.

WHY NOW

Charging is becoming an interoperability problem faster than test benches can keep up.

That is what EVCA, Easy Chester, the Battery Cell Simulator and comframe are built for. Read how we think about charging tests

Your test objective.

Choose your next test scope, in the lab or at the charging point.

Charging station under test · Simulated vehicle

Simulate the vehicle. Test the charging station.

Release every charger firmware with evidence. Not with hope.

EVCA simulates the vehicle, provokes supported faults you define, and comframe checks the station's response against IEC 61851 and ISO 15118 automatically.

Test scope: configured interfaces, supported faults, released standard edition and test library determine coverage.

Simulate the cells. Validate your BMS.

Validate your BMS against faults you would never risk with real cells.

The Battery Cell Simulator sets configured cell and sensor states. From 24 to hundreds of channels, up to high-voltage HiL.

Test scope: configured interfaces, supported faults, released standard edition and test library determine coverage.

Growing with the test requirements

From 24 cells to two systems with 132 cell channels each. A BESS project expands its BMS testing capacity. Customer project ↗

Simulate the charging station. Test the vehicle.

Test your vehicle against charger profiles without leaving the lab.

EVCA simulates station behaviour, timing and supported faults so your EVCC meets the edge cases before customers do.

Test scope: configured interfaces, supported faults, released standard edition and test library determine coverage.

Precharge

How an EVSE team validated its precharge correction.

A specialist’s comframe analysis of an EVCA recording helped the customer adjust EVSE control parameters. Retesting confirmed the correction for that charging pair.

Use Professional Simulation to vary timing, parameters and supported faults in your next test.

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

WHAT DRIVES US

In 2009, two engineers left a vehicle manufacturer with a test task the established suppliers called too specialised. Then the financial crisis cancelled the reference project. We built prototypes anyway and talked to anyone who would listen. A year later a customer asked for an e-mobility test bench.

We are still owner-led and investor-free. We still sit in standards working groups, because you cannot test against a standard you have not understood. And we still build hardware, software and manufacturing under one roof in Ostfildern. So that the people who answer your support call can work directly with the people who designed the system.

Built for standards. Designed for people. That is the order in which we work.

Anita Athanasas and Kiriakos Athanasas founded comemso and built it into a global market leader. Their son Manuel Athanasas represents the next generation.

We never stop developing and innovating. Passion, pace and engineering expertise drive us to keep pushing testing technology forward.
