The eDLP complex measures 15,500 m2. Inside, performance and electrical tests are conducted, as well as those on environmental and mechanical impacts and abuse tests for battery cells, modules and packs, plus other components such as inverters and on-board chargers.

A range of climate zones and ambient temperatures can be reproduced – from -40°C to 90°C.

Using a 12,000 m2 photovoltaic system, the energy required to test components is provided almost entirely by power generated from renewable resources.
