Modular and Adaptive EVSE 

The Modular and Adaptive Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (MAEVSE) by Ecosense is a fully integrated educational and research platform that simulates the complete EV charging ecosystem. Designed for universities, polytechnics, and technical institutions, MAEVSE combines real EV hardware with open-source control software, enabling students and researchers to explore every aspect of EV charging technology—from onboard AC charging to off-board DC fast charging—through hands-on experimentation, data analysis, and control algorithm development. This lab-grade platform is engineered to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and real-world EV infrastructure. 

Key Features

  • Complete Learning and Research Platform: Designed for academic and research institutions, MAEVSE enables hands-on exploration of EV charging systems, protocols, and safety mechanisms using real-world hardware.
  • Integrated Charging Environment: Includes battery bank, AC slow charger, DC fast charger, and central controller, enabling users to run test cases without the need for additional external equipment.
  • Support for Onboard and Off-board Charging: Allows experimentation with AC onboard chargers and DC off-board fast chargers, replicating real-life EV charging scenarios.
  • Open-Source Control and Algorithm Development: MAEVSE’s control unit is built around an FPGA platform. Users can access and modify source code to customize logic, apply different charging protocols, simulate fault responses, and perform real-time testing of control strategies. Communication via UART or Ethernet supports flexibility in development.
  • Real-Time System Behavior Simulation: Simulates EV charging workflows including communication, safety, charging cycle, and shutdown phases.
  • Application Software with Feedback Loop: A powerful PC-based application interfaces with the FPGA to send control commands, monitor system states, and log data. Real-time sensor feedback (voltage, current, temperature) enables control loop experimentation and tuning of charging parameters.
