CCS Interoperability Testing Workshop
Improve efficiency and effectiveness of your Combined Charging System (CCS) interoperability testing with hands-on training, expert instruction, and advanced tools.
Getting the Most from Your CCS Interoperability Testing Process
EV adoption is accelerating, but interoperability issues between EVs and charging stations remain widespread—over 20% of DC fast charging sessions fail due to communication or protocol issues. These failures frustrate consumers, increase costs, and slow industry adoption. This workshop provides a structured approach to identifying and resolving these problems
We developed this workshop with the goal to quickly educate participants on the process and nuances of CCS interoperability testing. Managers and engineers will learn how to improve the ROI of their interoperability testing efforts by implementing efficient and effective processes.
Improve efficiency and effectiveness of your Combined Charging System (CCS) interoperability testing with hands-on training, expert instruction, and advanced tools.
Now I’m able to run 50-100 or more sessions in the same time it takes to manually analyze just one session. This enables us to look at files we otherwise wouldn’t have had time for, giving us the ability to identify hidden issues.

Workshop Overview
What You Will Learn
- The role of interoperability testing in achieving charging interoperability.
- Best practices in planning and execution of interoperability testing
- The standards and tools for interoperability testing
- How to analyze interoperability test sessions for root causes of failures
- Improving ROI on interoperability testing
- The role of AI in achieving charging interoperability
Streamline Your Interoperatility Testing
CCS charging interoperability remains one of the industry’s most pressing challenges—over 20% of DC fast charging sessions fail due to communication or protocol problems, frustrating consumers and slowing EV adoption. Addressing these issues requires deep expertise, effective processes, and the right tools.
Since 2022, QualityLogic has worked with CCS standards and interoperability testing teams, building a unique body of knowledge and developing tools like the CCS Analyzer to accelerate analysis and improve ROI on testing efforts.
