EV charging station key points
- Safety: Majority of charging occurs at home or workplace, making safety paramount
- Reliability: Semiconductor devices in charging stations are sensitive to electrical threats. Protection from overcurrent through fuses ensures reliability
- Efficiency: Crucial for DC fast charging systems Minimizing power conversion losses ensures max power delivery to the battery
EV charging station types
- DC Charging Station: Converts AC power to DC for EV battery system. Enables fast charging (30 min. or less). Requires higher power levels: 50kW to 350kW & beyond
- AC Charging Station: Delivers AC power to EV. Slow charging; power constraints limited to 22kW based on vehicle limitations. Vehicle charger depends on on-board charger for AC to DC conversion.
- Wireless Charging : Inductive charging without cable connections. Adds power efficiency to Li-ion battery.
