DC EV charging station

For electric vehicles to fully reach their potential, one of the biggest challenges is in providing fast charging infrastructure that help eliminate range anxiety. In DC EV charging stations (typically 22-350 kW), the power conversion from AC to DC happens within the station , and the current bypasses the OBC going directly to the battery. With increasing charger voltages up to 1000 V and 800 V batteries, charging times will be significantly reduced. Given the loading these fast-charging stations require, they tend to be seen as a transport infrastructure and not as residential solutions.

Design considerations

  • Topology selection is based on expected peformance, cost and footprint
  • Modular design provides flexibility and scalability, which has high requirements on thermal management.
  • Using power module instead of power discretes improves power density and system efficiency
    • 15-30 kW modules based on discretes
    • > 30 kW modules typically use IGBT or SiC power module​​​​​​s
