At TÜV SÜD, we're committed to delivering top-quality performance in electric vehicle (EV) battery and system solutions. We use our experience from North American, European, and Asian labs to offer the best independent battery testing in North America.
In July 2023, we opened our New Energy Vehicle Lab in Auburn Hills, Michigan. This 80,000 sq. ft. facility has the latest technology for comprehensive testing. It is the only fully sustainable transportation testing lab in the USA featuring a complete environmental scrubber to capture all toxic battery emissions, which shows our dedication to innovation and sustainability.
With more EV battery makers in Michigan, our nearby lab is more important than ever. The USMCA trade agreement, new infrastructure laws, and incentives are boosting battery manufacturing nationwide. TÜV SÜD is a committed supporter of this growth, planning more locations across the US. Meanwhile, we are already serving battery manufacturers from Auburn Hills and our lab near Toronto.
Jonathan Drew, Director - Transportation Testing Services North America, says, "The biggest change is the move from gasoline engines to electric propulsion. EVs makeup about 7% of light vehicles and will grow, potentially to over 50% by 2032. Our customers in marine, agricultural, ATV, and snowmobile sectors are all moving toward this exciting future.”
Key Capabilities:
Jonathan says, "In the next ten years, although internal combustion engines will remain part of the market, the future will be electric. Lithium-ion and new chemistry batteries will continue to drive the EV industry. Solid-state batteries and hydrogen fuel cells are also emerging but will grow more slowly. TÜV SÜD is already working on solutions for these technologies, so we will be ready for whatever comes."
Since 2009, we've led EV battery testing in North America. Our global reach and expertise in battery safety allow us to operate in multiple countries, including the USA, Canada, Germany, China, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, and Singapore. We provide customized solutions and support throughout the process. With over 100 years of global safety and certification experience, we continually expand our capabilities in Michigan to better serve our clients.
Jonathan says, "Our biggest challenge is managing the shift to electrification, including EVs and systems with varying levels of autonomy. This requires a lot of testing, and that's why TÜV SÜD has invested heavily in battery, electrical, and EMC testing capabilities."
