The Development Of Charging System Infrastructure For Electric Vehicles

Abstract

The increasing use of electric vehicles (EV) requires adequate and efficient charging system infrastructure. One of the main things is the electric vehicle (EV) battery charging system. This research aims to develop a charging system infrastructure for EVs using a DC to DC converter. The system is designed to ensure safety, efficiency and compatibility with a wide range of EVs. The system is also capable of producing voltage from 12 volts to more than 60 volts, which is enough to charge electric vehicle batteries. Correlation analysis simulations with MATLAB and experimental testing were carried out to evaluate the performance of the charging system. This circuit can charge batteries with voltage variations from 12 volts to 60 volts which are widely used in electric vehicles. The results of correlation analysis show that there is a correlation between charging current and charging time. Where the greater the charging current, the faster the charging time. The temperature of the battery when charging must also be paid attention to so that overheating does not occur which can damage the battery cells.
