Abstract :
A mobile charging system (MCS) for Electric vehicles (EVs) is presented in this paper. The designed MCS have 2 MWhr energy storage capacity and capability of charging five EVs simultaneously with individual 75 kW charging rates. The MCS would be rechargeable from the available power substations (3 phase-480v) with 375 KW charging rate. The appropriate modular power interface is designed and implemented between the MCS, batteries of the EVs and the power substations. Experimental validation is presented in this paper to demonstrate the system performance and effectiveness under rapid charging requirements.
