ACM hosted CharIN North America May 2025 Testival during May 13-14, 2025, utilizing its EV testbed facility as testing grounds and conference center.

This event introduced the most comprehensive version of the ChargeX PTP to date, spanning two full days of testing with a fully gamified format, expanded scoring logic, and structured moderator oversight. EV and EVSE pairings participated in a series of predefined test scenarios, earning points based on criteria met, with additional emphasis on stretch goals and advanced behaviors. These efforts are aimed not only at measuring baseline interoperability but also at incentivizing deeper engagement and showcasing implementation maturity.

This report documents the structure, execution, outcomes, and lessons learned from the event, providing insight into the evolving state of EV-EVSE interoperability and the continued refinement of prescribed testing frameworks.
