Test the Charging Point.
Before You Blame the Car.
The ChargePapa StationCheck is an AC EVSE diagnostic simulator for installers, support teams, property managers, fleet operators, and EVSE resellers who need to test charging station behavior without using a customer vehicle as the first diagnostic step.
It simulates charging states, PE behavior, CP/PE fault paths, and cable-resistance conditions so teams can narrow the issue before replacing hardware or moving vehicles between bays.
AC only. StationCheck is for AC Level 1 / Level 2 EVSE testing. It is not designed for DC fast charging stations.
Station-Side Diagnostics
Station-Side Response
Check AC charging station behavior before treating the vehicle, driver settings, or adapter path as the source of the problem.
PE / CP Fault Simulation
Simulate CP errors, PE errors, cable resistance, and charging states A, B, C, and D for repeatable troubleshooting.
Commissioning & Handover
Fits commissioning, handover checks, support triage, warehouse QC, and property or fleet maintenance workflows.
Three Interface Versions
Choose the version that matches the AC charging station: SAE J1772 / Type 1, Type 2 European Standard, or NACS-style AC interface.
What StationCheck Actually Tests
In AC EV charging, the station and vehicle communicate through control and protective-earth paths before charging begins. StationCheck simulates selected vehicle-side states so the charging station can be checked without using a real EV as the first diagnostic tool.
Where It Fits in the Charging Workflow
Choose the Right Interface Version
Choose StationCheck by the charging station connector you need to test, not by the vehicle brand parked nearby. The tool simulates the vehicle-side response for that AC interface, so the correct SKU starts with the station plug standard.
| SKU | Interface | Test Object | Typical Market | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| StationCheck-J | SAE J1772 / Type 1 | J1772 AC charging stations | North America AC charging stations | Choose this when the station cable or connector is SAE J1772 / Type 1. |
| StationCheck-T2 | Type 2 European Standard | Type 2 AC charging stations | Europe / Type 2 AC charging stations | Choose this for Type 2 AC stations, including single-phase and three-phase diagnostic workflows. |
| StationCheck-N | NACS / Tesla-style AC interface | NACS AC charging stations | North America NACS AC charging sites | Choose this for NACS AC interface checks only. Not for DC Supercharger testing. |
How to Choose Your StationCheck SKU
Fast rule: match the SKU to the AC station connector. If your team services more than one connector standard, choose one tester for each interface.
Choose this for J1772 AC Level 1 / Level 2 charging stations.
Choose this for Type 2 AC stations, including single-phase and three-phase sites.
Choose this for NACS AC interface checks. Not for DC Supercharger testing.
Who Is StationCheck Built For?
For an installer in Los Angeles commissioning SAE J1772 AC stations for Ford F-150 Lightning and Chevrolet Bolt owners, StationCheck helps verify the station response before the first handover appointment.
For a property manager in Chicago running shared Level 2 charging in an apartment garage, it creates a repeatable way to check station-side behavior before moving tenant vehicles between bays.
For a fleet team in Seattle managing NACS AC charging points for Tesla Model 3, Model Y, and newer NACS-equipped vehicles, the NACS version tests AC interface behavior without treating Supercharger access as part of the workflow.
For a service workshop in Berlin supporting Type 2 European Standard AC stations, the Type 2 version fits single-phase and three-phase diagnostic workflows under the IEC/EN 61851-1 charging protocol context.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is an AC EVSE diagnostic simulator?
A: An AC EVSE diagnostic simulator is a tool that imitates selected vehicle-side charging states so an AC charging station can be tested without relying on a real EV. ChargePapa StationCheck helps technicians check whether the station responds correctly before blaming the vehicle, cable, or driver settings.
Q: Can StationCheck help diagnose a red fault light on an EV charger?
A: Yes. StationCheck can support red fault light diagnosis by helping a trained technician test station-side behavior, PE response, CP signal behavior, and simulated fault conditions. It does not identify every possible cause by itself, but it makes the troubleshooting path more repeatable.
Q: Is this product for EV owners or installers?
A: StationCheck is mainly for installers, EVSE service teams, property managers, fleet maintenance teams, and technical support workflows. A normal EV owner usually does not need this tool unless they manage charging equipment or perform technical checks regularly.
Q: Does StationCheck charge an electric vehicle?
A: No. StationCheck is not a charger and does not charge an EV. It is a diagnostic simulator used to test how an AC charging station behaves under simulated charging states and fault conditions.
Q: Can this test a Tesla Supercharger?
A: No. StationCheck is for AC charging station testing. The NACS version is for NACS-style AC interface checks, not DC Tesla Supercharger testing, authorization testing, or fast-charging network access.
Q: Which StationCheck SKU should I choose?
A: Choose by the AC charging station connector. StationCheck-J is for SAE J1772 / Type 1 stations, StationCheck-T2 is for Type 2 European Standard stations, and StationCheck-N is for NACS / Tesla-style AC interface checks. The NACS version is AC only, not for Tesla Supercharger or DC fast-charging testing.
Q: What does CP and PE mean in EV charging?
A: CP means control pilot, the signal path used by AC charging equipment to communicate charging state and available current. PE means protective earth, the grounding path used for electrical safety. Problems in either path can cause fault lights, failed starts, or interrupted sessions.
Critical Usage Note
- Use only for AC Level 1 / Level 2 charging station / EVSE diagnostic workflows.
- Do not use as a vehicle charger or load device.
- Do not use for DC fast charging or Tesla Supercharger testing.
- Use the correct interface version for the station connector being tested.
- Qualified personnel should handle installation, electrical diagnosis, and code-related decisions.
