Test, validate, and document Fast DC charging stations with one portable analyzer.
The Fluke FEV500 is a field-ready, advanced analyzer that streamlines the testing of Fast DC EV charging stations by combining essential safety and performance checks into a single device. Designed for ease of use, it simplifies the evaluation process without the need for additional test and measurement equipment, ensuring that EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) remains safe and operational. The FEV500 has an intuitive interface and features seamless software integration, making it easier for technicians to troubleshoot, manage data, and maintain EVSE uptime with confidence and efficiency. The FEV500 is compliant with ISO 15118 and DIN SPEC 70121 international standards for the digital communication between electric vehicles and electric vehicle supply equipment. It has been tested for compatibility with major EVSE manufacturers.

Communication & Performance:
Electrical Safety:
Streamline Fast DC EV Charging inspections using one integrated tool
Other EVSE test tools often only support vehicle simulation and require other test equipment to perform a full inspection. This requires reconfiguration of test leads and the need to bring multiple devices on-site. Managing multiple devices can lead to inefficiencies, increased test time and higher likelihood of human error. The FEV500 consolidates all recommended electrical inspection steps into a single portable device. Technicians can test continuity, insulation, check IMDs (insulation monitoring devices), and residual voltage all through the EVSE connector without the need to use other devices.
EVSE Validation: Independent, Precise Testing Without an EV On-Site
As electric vehicles become the norm, ensuring the reliability and performance of EV charging infrastructure is more critical than ever. Traditional validation methods often rely on the presence of an actual EV, which can limit flexibility and delay testing—especially in remote areas or during maintenance windows. The Fluke FEV500 empowers technicians with a smarter approach: it simulates an EV, enabling comprehensive testing of charging and communication protocols without needing a vehicle on-site. This independence streamlines workflows, reduces downtime, and allows for repeatable diagnostics under controlled conditions. Technicians can replicate specific charging scenarios, verify protocol compliance, and troubleshoot issues with precision—anytime, anywhere. By decoupling EVSE validation from vehicle availability, the FEV500 supports proactive infrastructure readiness for a fully electric future.
Simplify Every Step of Fast DC Charger Testing
The Fluke FEV500 streamlines Fast DC EVSE testing by combining safety, performance, and interoperability checks into one compact, field-ready tool. Its guided testing workflow walks technicians step-by-step through each protocol, ensuring consistency, confidence, and faster results, no matter what their experience level is. The FEV500 delivers EV-free validation, simulating real charging sessions and communication without needing a vehicle on-site, while error simulation verifies that safety systems respond correctly to faults. Designed for the field, it is portable, durable, and battery operated, with wheels and a handle for easy transport and no need for external power. The analyzer also consolidates multiple instruments— EV, protocol analyzer, low-ohm meter and oscilloscope —into a single device for complete non-invasive testing without opening the charger. Test data is automatically captured and transferred to TruTest™ software, eliminating manual entry and simplifying documentation for compliance and reporting. With the FEV500, technicians can test smarter, safer, and faster, anywhere the job takes them.
Automated Documentation: Removes the Need for Manual Data Entry Manual data entry is a time-consuming and error-prone process that can lead to inaccuracies in test documentation, complicating maintenance records and compliance reporting. Technicians must often transcribe test results by hand from multiple test tools, which not only slows down the workflow but also increases the risk of data loss or incorrect entries. The Fluke FEV500 automates the documentation process. Test results are automatically recorded and stored within the device and can be easily transferred to TruTest™ software via USB-C for further analysis and report generation. This automation eliminates the need for manual data entry, ensuring that all test results are accurately captured and documented. It also streamlines compliance reporting and maintenance planning, providing reliable, traceable records that can be accessed and shared as needed. This not only saves time but also enhances the overall efficiency and accuracy of the testing process.
