Electric vehicle on-board charging will be a key aspect of the EV market for the foreseeable future. It will enable EVs to charge from commonly available power points at home or work.

This dual purpose charger combines conventional power electronic converter topologies with grid conditioning capabilities. It also offers intelligent battery temperature compensation during charging.

Golf Carts

Golf carts need high-reliability chargers that can keep up with their powerful motors. These chargers are built to withstand high voltage, extreme temperatures, and a range of environmental conditions. They also feature a robust design and are engineered for easy installation.

Unlike standard automotive battery chargers, which are fixed in a particular charging mode, the onboard golf cart battery charger is constantly monitoring the vehicle battery's state of charge. Once the battery reaches its ideal nation of charge, it will automatically switch itself off.

This system is suitable for large and complex vehicles associated with the material handling industry, including scissor lifts, trucks, forklifts, and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs). It is also 100 percent convection cooled, making it ideal for harsh environments. It is also highly durable and can withstand shock and vibration standards.

Motorcycle

Integrated battery chargers are the ideal solution for EV conversions as they save space, weight and cabling. They also minimize inventory and servicing costs, making them an excellent choice for motorcycles and other light vehicles.

EV charging typically breaks down into three types:'main harbour' charging at home or work, 'destination' charging (such as in restaurants, shopping malls and sports stadia) and 'range extension' charging with high-speed DC power. Regardless of the charging type, the onboard charger needs to be lightweight and compact.

KOSTAL's functional and integration expertise ensures that we can meet today's varying scope of integration near the battery. Our chargers integrate the Charger Interface Control Unit that communicates with the charging pillar or wallbox and coordinates the AC or DC charging process. They also include power electronics for the CAN-bus interface that delivers messages with charging flow, connection status and error reports to the vehicle's VCU.

Tricycle

The power circuit topology incorporates a three switch design with power Darlington transistors. It delivers high-efficiency at a low-weight to support vehicle electrification projects. It also meets high-level input power quality indices and can operate with an AC85VAC265V input voltage range.

On-board charging (OBC) is a key part of EVs. It uses readily-available AC power from billions of outlets in homes and offices to charge the battery. This is typically slower than rapid DC charging, but is very convenient for 'destination' and 'range extension' charging.

This 6.6kW OBC battery charger and DC-DC converter is combined in one package to save space, weight, and cabling. This makes it a great solution for applications where sparking at an electrical connection could pose a hazard or where the operator is disabled and can't manipulate the plug into the socket.

Surfboard

The battery charger is a device used to recharge batteries in electronic devices such as CD-players, radios or recorders. It converts hydrogen fed to the dead-ended anode chamber to electric current which is then supplied to the device being charged. It can also be used as a power source to operate flash lights, model aircraft or radio transmitters.

The primary goal of the PEVI model is to identify a set of charging station sites that provide the greatest benefit to PEV drivers for a given level of public investment. To achieve this, it uses a heuristic optimization algorithm that stops siting chargers that cost more to deploy than the incremental driver delay they reduce.

Sweeper

The right battery charger enables your electrified vehicles and machines to meet demanding performance and reliability specifications while excelling in harsh operating conditions. A battery charger that manages the flow of power from the grid to the battery, while optimizing the use of AC line energy with a power factor >0.9 minimizes utility surcharges and maximizes value for your end-user customers.

This battery charger features advanced thermal self-protection and CAN-bus interface to deliver charging flow, interlock connection and disconnection information to the vehicle control system. It also provides over voltage, over current and over temperature protections during charging. Integrated high-frequency charger and DC-DC converter saves space, weight and cabling. Functional safety and software expertise ensures integration with your OEM design. Designed for use with Lead-Acid and LiFePO4 batteries.
