This paper presents a comprehensive testing framework and safety evaluation for Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) charging systems, incorporating advanced theoretical modeling and experimental validation of a modern, integrated 3-in-1 combo unit (PDU, DCDC, OBC). The proliferation of electric vehicles has necessitated the development of resilient and flexible charging solutions, with V2V technology emerging as a critical decentralized infrastructure component. This study establishes a rigorous mathematical framework for power flow analysis, develops novel safety protocols based on IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 functional safety standards, and presents comprehensive experimental validation across 47 test scenarios. The framework encompasses five primary test categories: functional performance validation, power conversion efficiency optimization, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) assessment, thermal management evaluation, and comprehensive fault-injection testing including Byzantine fault scenarios. Through systematic experimental validation using advanced power electronics simulation and hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, we demonstrate 98.2% power conversion efficiency, sub-50ms fault detection response times, and compliance with automotive safety integrity level ASIL-D requirements. Our results establish the theoretical foundations and practical validation methodologies essential for next-generation V2V charging infrastructure deployment.
