Bridging Innovation and Compliance: Improving EVSE Testing with TESCO

One of the most exciting parts of my journey as Product Manager for TESCO Metering has been the opportunity to work alongside our engineering team to make great products even better. This week, I spent time troubleshooting ideas to improve the user experience of our EVSE Test Equipment based on feedback we’ve received from customers in the field.

Together, we’re exploring simple but impactful enhancements to make our tools easier and more efficient to use—because when you’re out in the field, every second counts. It’s thrilling to be part of a process where customer input directly shapes the future of our products, ensuring they meet the real-world challenges faced by Weights and Measures teams, EVSE manufacturers, and service providers alike.

The Power of Patented Technology

At the heart of TESCO’s EVSE Test Equipment is a patented, NIST-approved technology—a feature that sets our solutions apart. But what does that really mean, and why does it matter?

NIST approval ensures that our equipment delivers the highest standards of accuracy and reliability, meeting both federal and state regulations like the upcoming HB 44 compliance requirements. Accuracy isn’t just a checkbox—it’s the foundation of consumer trust. When EV drivers charge their vehicles, they rely on those chargers to measure energy consumption fairly and precisely. TESCO’s technology ensures that Weights and Measures teams can verify this trust, keeping public confidence in the system intact.

TESCO’s equipment also boasts compatibility across both AC and DC chargers, making it incredibly versatile. In today’s rapidly growing EV market, no two chargers are alike. From Level 2 chargers installed at workplaces or commercial properties to ultra-fast DC public stations, our tools are designed to handle them all. This means fewer limitations and more opportunities for our customers to test and certify the widest range of equipment with one solution.

Looking Ahead: The Future of EVSE Testing

The EVSE industry is evolving at lightning speed. New protocols, higher-power charging, and more diverse infrastructure are being developed every day. As we look ahead, the focus on interoperability will only intensify—making robust, flexible testing tools like TESCO’s even more essential.

But the need for innovation doesn’t stop at the hardware. Customer feedback is showing us that simplicity and efficiency are just as important as technical capabilities. In the coming months, I’m excited to continue working with our team to refine our products, ensuring they remain both cutting-edge and user-friendly.

My Vision as Product Manager

As I reflect on the work we’ve done this week, I’m reminded of what makes TESCO special: we listen, we innovate, and we never lose sight of why we do this. Our mission is to help our customers succeed, whether by meeting compliance deadlines or building trust in the EV ecosystem.

Being part of this process is inspiring, and I’m excited to continue learning, collaborating, and making a difference in this industry. The future of EVSE testing is about more than just keeping up with regulations—it’s about driving progress, one enhancement at a time.

If you’ve worked with our equipment or have thoughts on what you’d like to see in the future, I’d love to hear from you. Let’s shape the next chapter of EVSE testing together!
