Abstract
The main parts of the battery chargers of electric and hybrid vehicles and the effects of power factor on the performance of battery chargers are discussed. Considerations important in the selection and design of battery chargers for electric and hybrid vehicles and the circuits available for such charging are reviewed. Other topics discussed include charger classification based on power level, charger-to-vehicle interface, charging infrastructure, charging algorithms, equalization of individual battery voltages, and the principle of power factor correction
