On board charger ev 6.6kw hybrid TC portable electric vehicle charger
Charging an electric vehicle depends on three components, the speed of which is always determined by the weakest link in the chain. These three components are the charging station, charging cable, and on board charger. The least known of the three is the on board charger. So how does it work? What are the basic types of on board chargers? What are the future prospects?
The TC charger provides constant current or constant voltage charging, both are easy to operate. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. In the case of constant current charging, the efficiency is high and the charging speed is fast, but there is a risk that the battery will be overcharged in the later stage and its life will be shortened. In the case of constant voltage charging, there is a risk of too much current flowing into the battery at the outset, which can overheat the battery, again shortening its life.
In this way, the charger ensures that it is initially charged with a constant current, thereby maintaining speed and efficiency. When the voltage at both ends of the battery reaches a certain level, it will switch to constant voltage charging. This system is called a charging strategy and is the most important function of an on-board charger.

The word charger can be confusing. Since charging stations are commonly known as chargers, it should be noted that there are two types of chargers:
On-board charger (OBC) built into the car
Charging station (also known as charger, can be AC or DC) - Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE)
In this article, we will discuss the topic of on board chargers, which are an integral part of every electric vehicle. Topics on external chargers (EVSE) and charging with DC or AC can be found here.
