Light Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Testing and Certification

As light electric vehicles are becoming a new green travel option, urban transportation is increasingly adopting shared light electric vehicle services, and the development of dedicated charging stations and charging facilities will become faster and faster. As a result, the safety, performance and durability of light electric vehicle charging stations and equipment are becoming more and more important.

It is crucial that charging facilities for light electric vehicles (electric bicycles, scooters, etc.) in public areas comply with relevant safety standards.

Many light electric vehicle charging infrastructures include kiosks, charging ports, built-in charging circuits and battery management systems, power conversion units, and field wiring installation equipment. These facilities are located outdoors, permanently connected to the grid, and open to the public. In some cases, stations can also include battery swapping services.

Therefore, these charging facilities need to evaluate many factors involving safety, performance and reliability, such as:
