Car charger

A critical barrier to adoption of electric passenger vehicles is the time to re - arg. Drivers are 2 spending approximately 7 to 10 minutes refueling an internal combustion engine vehicle so the goal for electric vehicles is to get as close to that number as possible. To address this ultra - high speed DC charging (HSDC) is becoming A standard vehicle feature, allowing charging rates of 120 kW to 300 kW depending on vehicle 'voltages.

Practice In high speed charging for passenger vehicles is typically only 2 to 10% of the time, when taking a journey beyond the range of the vehicle, and then typically only adding 100-150 kM of additional range is men to reach the destination. Once at the destination the vehicle can recharge an overnight.

The power electronics in an off - board HSDC charger consist of an active PFC front end, DC - to - DC converter and internal auxiliary housekeeping supplies. The Gate drivers, flyback and buck solutions, capable of operating at up to 1200 V are ideal for these designs.
