The newly launched **Fluke FEV500** provides an integrated testing solution designed specifically for fast DC Level 3 electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Saudi Arabia. Fluke Corporation announced the launch of this tool on June 3, 2026, to address the safety, reliability, and uptime requirements of high-powered charging networks. As the Kingdom accelerates its EV infrastructure deployment, this tool acts as a virtual vehicle to perform safety and operability tests directly on-site.
The testing device simplifies the maintenance process by replacing several traditional instruments. Specifically, it integrates the functions of a digital multimeter, an insulation tester, and an oscilloscope into a single device. Furthermore, the tool is designed to meet ISO 15118 and DIN SPEC70121 international standards for telecommunications and digital communication between electric vehicles and charging infrastructure.
Technical Capabilities of the **Fluke FEV500**
The **Fluke FEV500** operates without requiring an external power source during testing. It simulates real-world charging and communication scenarios to validate station performance under diverse operating conditions, including high-temperature environments. Additionally, the device features an intuitive auto-test function that inputs data directly to the unit, eliminating the need for manual entry by field technicians.
Streamlining Field Operations and Maintenance
For field service technicians, the tool is built with a portable, rugged wheeled chassis and a removable battery suitable for air travel. This design allows fleet operators to troubleshoot issues through a single connection point without opening or disassembling the charging station. Consequently, maintenance teams can reduce station downtime and perform diagnostic workflows without advanced specialized training.
“With the Fluke FEV 500, Fluke is redefining how fast DC EV charging stations are tested and maintained. These high-powered stations are critical infrastructure, and ensuring their safety, reliability, and uptime is essential. Our all-in-one solution acts like a virtual electric vehicle, allowing technicians to diagnose, test, and validate stations on-site—reducing risk, accelerating service, and enabling the EV charging industry to scale with confidence.”

Supporting Saudi Arabia’s EV Infrastructure Goals
This launch aligns with Saudi Arabia’s broader sustainable mobility goals under Saudi Vision 2030. The Kingdom aims to achieve 30% EV adoption nationwide by 2030, alongside a target to electrify 30% of all vehicles in Riyadh. To support this transition, national initiatives are underway to deploy more than 5,000 public charging stations across strategic locations.
Investment and Market Outlook
Backed by over $50 billion in investments across EV manufacturing and infrastructure, Saudi Arabia is establishing a connected network. As the regional market scales, the demand for efficient testing and maintenance solutions continues to grow. The introduction of the **Fluke FEV500** aims to support this rapid expansion by ensuring the long-term reliability of high-powered DC fast chargers.
