Innovative Solutions for Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure

Abstract

The rising adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) necessitates the development of adequate and efficient charging system infrastructure. A key component of this infrastructure is the electric vehicle (EV) battery charging system. This research focuses on designing a charging system infrastructure for EVs utilizing a DC to DC converter. The system is engineered to prioritize safety, efficiency, and compatibility with a variety of EV models. It is capable of delivering output voltages ranging from 12 volts to over 60 volts, sufficient for charging EV batteries. Performance evaluation was conducted through correlation analysis simulations using MATLAB and experimental testing. The system demonstrates the ability to charge batteries with voltage variations from 12 to 60 volts, commonly required by electric vehicles. The correlation analysis results indicate a relationship between charging current and charging time, showing that higher charging currents reduce charging durations. Additionally, attention must be given to battery temperature during charging to prevent overheating, which can damage battery cells.
