ACM and TERBINE Developing a Platform for EV Interoperability Testing The American Center for Mobility (ACM) and technology provider Terbine have joined forces to provide a powerful AI-enabled system that will give automakers and EV charging equipment manufacturers the ability to test interoperability whenever they are preparing new software updates for release. The data management analytics platform, or DMAP is being partially funded through a federal grant and is intended to benefit the entire industry. “The DMAP system will provide a mechanism for both OEMs and Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) manufacturers to collect data and insights to drive optimization and improvements in EV charging capabilities impacting the industry,” said Reuben Sarkar, ACM CEO. “With over-the-air (OTA) software updates on both the vehicle and charging equipment sides becoming commonplace, the need for advance interoperability testing in a broad matrix of combinations is growing evermore critical for EV adoption to move forward smoothly.” The DMAP is being built upon the Terbine Data Exchange Platform or TDEP and will be capable of aggregating, anonymizing, analyzing, and reporting on trends stemming from testing. Results from tests will be made available to participants to inform any corrective actions required prior to releasing software updates to vehicles or charging units, as appropriate. “Together with ACM we are creating a first-of-its-kind interoperability system that the EV ecosystem needs to progress rapidly,” said David Knight, Founder and CEO of Terbine. “Often when drivers are unable to charge it’s due to compatibility problems caused by software onboard the vehicle or inside the charger. By leveraging AI we are able to dramatically expand the scope and speed of testing for all players who participate.” ACM will be the focal point for testing activities including both onsite at their facility in Michigan as well as virtually for remote participants. The goal of the combined effort is to establish the primary interoperability hub for the entire EV industry. It will first be showcased at events starting in the second quarter of 2025.

ACM is seeking a project engineer to support our technical efforts such as our EV Charging Testbed and other areas in safe, sustainable and secure mobility!

🚗✨I recently had the opportunity to present my work as part of the ARPA-E NEXTCAR Project on “ML-based Lane Detection and Lateral Offset Estimation Model for Vehicle Following Applications” at the openhouse hosted by Michigan Technological University and the American Center for Mobility. With over 120 guests attending, it was a fantastic day of innovation, networking, and learning. I’m grateful for the chance to connect with so many experts and gain new insights in the field. 🌐🚘 Special thanks to my mentors Dr.Jeff Naber and Mojtaba Bahramgiri, Advanced Power Systems Research Center (APS LABS) and American Center for Mobility for making this possible! Excited for the future of mobility technology!

ACM is pleased to issue a Request for Proposal for the American Center for Mobility – EV Basecamp Phase I project. As described in the attached, the American Center for Mobility (ACM) has been awarded a grant from the US Dept. of Energy to help address issues facing the EV charging infrastructure.    More on that here: https://lnkd.in/db4n-bFZ   The Phase I scope involves extending the existing switch gear capacity in what’s known as the Short Term Garage building to six new 480V, 200A pin & connectors around the exterior of the building and reworking one existing interior circuit.   Future phases of this project will include: The fabrication of skid mounted electrical equipment creating moveable, flexible infrastructure to allow ACM to host various EV charging events for the EVSE manufacturing community. Further expansion of ACM’s capacity to support the EVSE community by leveraging the electrical capacity available on site.   An on-site pre-bid walkthrough is scheduled for next Wednesday November 13th @ 11:00 am. If you are interested in participating, please email [email protected] Click here to view the PDF: https://lnkd.in/dbpdm5wW
