Audi has launched a specialized test charging park at its development center in Ingolstadt, featuring a grid simulator that enables engineers to replicate charging conditions from different global markets, including China and the United States.
The grid simulator allows Audi to test charging performance under various voltages and frequencies, ranging from 100 to 540 volts and 40 to 65 hertz. This ensures compatibility with international charging infrastructures.

“The results are incorporated directly into the research and development of the vehicles. This means that customers always benefit from the best charging experience, no matter where they are in the world,” Audi stated in a press release.
Developed in collaboration with Bosch Rexroth and installation partner Schmidbaur, the simulator offers an output of up to 500 kW. It supports single-phase, two-phase, and three-phase grids, as well as split-phase operation, allowing engineers to test charging stations from non-EU countries with the required voltage and grid form.

“With the grid simulator, we can test whether our models can successfully charge with charging stations in the US or China, for example,” said project manager Daniel Ettinger. Audi expects the facility to reduce the need for overseas testing, leading to cost and time savings, though specific figures were not disclosed.
