CCS Test at Ionity Unterschleißheim - who wants to volunteer?

I participated in the e-cannonball event last weekend and we met a couple of Ionity reps there. They invited us to test our CCS implementation at their test facility in Unterschleißheim.

For me that is a 500 km drive which I'd rather do by train ;) Plus there isn't even a CCS socket in Touran yet.

So I was wondering if anyone wants to volunteer who lives in the region? You need a registered car that uses one of uhis CCS stacks.

:D can you take a 400V battery with a CCS socket attached on a cart and on the train? Maybe put a disguise on it for the train. It's good they want to engage though.

Not sure what sort of usage the UHI stack has, I only know of you and Celeron having used it in the field so far.

Maybe we should just send them the dates and times we've already used Ionity stations with uhi CCS? ;)

As you know, that's near me. It also seems that I get a controller from Uhi. I do not have a registered car. What could a test setup look like and would that be suitable for testing? Would the people from Ionity do that?

Basically a CCS controller with a battery and the contactors. Should be > 200V

If I were to go I'd clean up the CCS->CHAdeMO adapter a bit an test with that. The latter would make any CHAdeMO car a target as well. Anyone?

I'll only attempt converting Touran to CCS once uhis board works for me (so far I was too inept to solder one myself)

Just for completeness: I do not have a setup with a real battery, only the light-bulb-experiments. Nevertheless I would attend at such an event, to see in practice how the profies are working. And to gain some knowledge, maybe fix some issues immediately. For me it is 50 minutes travel.

That's very good. In Touran I will use your STM32 board and I will also bring the CHAdeMO adapter with pyPLC
