UNBIASED RESEARCH. CERTIFIED PROOF.

FOR 35 YEARS

AMCI_Testing_Certified_RED_BAR

Most of AMCI Testing’s work is behind the scenes, because our clients are almost always major automotive manufacturers looking for a critical and truthful evaluation of their own product vs. the competition. The vast majority of our work remains private because—quite frankly—it’s covered by NDA and we discuss both the positive and the negative. The critical honesty we bring to board rooms, marketing departments, and engineering groups is what makes our results so valuable. It’s what enables them to drive product improvements and improve a model or brand’s competitiveness.

On occasion however, the results of our research are so positive that we encourage our clients to go public. We’re proud of the fact that going back three decades, our work has provided the real-world substantiation for many of the most memorable comparative-product claims in the industry. And due to the depth of the scientific protocols we’ve developed—covering hundreds of test areas—no AMCI Testing Certified Claim has ever been retracted or modified due to a competitor’s legal challenge. We take our work, and our obligation to tell the truth, both personally and seriously. Many consumers are basing their purchase decisions on the strength of our word; and we want them to know they can count on the absolute validity of our results.

FAST CHARGING STANDARD

In the absence of a national standard, MP6 uses the most reliable, accessible network to date: Tesla Supercharger and its ‘Magic Dock’ adapter.

WHY WE CHOSE 6 MINUTES.

Six minutes is the average time it takes to fuel an ICE vehicle. When you are out of charge or time in your EV, charging speed is what counts. Further, “To achieve the environmental promise of EVs there needs to be a greater emphasis on fast charging, not range,” according to AMCI Global CEO, David Stokols.

CHARGING SPEED OR RANGE?

According to Guy Mangiamele, Director of AMCI Testing, “There needs to be equal emphasis on vehicle range and charging speed. Regardless of range, when on the road, when short of time, or short of range, charging speed is what really matters.”

TEST METHODOLOGY

With EV charging methodology established over a decade, our proprietary protocol begins with 10% state of charge, MP6 is calculated over numerous charging sessions at stations always exceeding the vehicle’s maximum charge rate.
