Everett, Washington, May 12, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Fluke Corporation<\/a> today announced the launch of the Fluke FEV500<\/a>, an all-in-one testing solution designed specifically for fast DC Level 3 EV charging stations. Unlike traditional AC chargers, these high-powered stations operate at extreme energy levels and rely on complex digital communication protocols, making safety, reliability, and uptime critical concerns for operators. <\/p>\n

The FEV500 acts like a virtual electric vehicle, enabling technicians in the field to quickly perform comprehensive safety and operability tests on-site without the cost, complexity, or uncertainty of using an actual EV, helping ensure charging stations remain safe and importantly fully operational.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the FEV500, Fluke is redefining how fast DC EV charging stations are tested and maintained,\u201d said Theo Brillhart, Technology Director, R&D at Fluke Corporation. \u201cFast DC charging is the backbone of the EV transition but the truth is, reliability is still the industry\u2019s weakest link. We built the FEV500 to close that gap. It replaces uncertainty with insight and turns testing from a bottleneck into a competitive advantage. If the EV industry wants to scale, it starts with trust and trust starts with reliability.<\/p>\n

\n One in five<\/a> charging stations in the U.S. is not operational*, indicating an urgent need to improve the nation\u2019s charging network. For fleet operators, downtime can be costly, and for consumers, reliability is critical. The FEV500 makes testing more efficient by replacing the need for multiple tools \u2013 including a digital multimeter, insulation tester, and oscilloscope \u2013 while also providing technicians with guided instructions on critical testing criteria.<\/p>\n

Key features of the FEV500 include:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
