The number of electric vehicles on the road is increasing like anything, after the governments of numerous countries have started promoting the use of electric vehicles. This is mostly done with an intention of decreasing the levels of air and noise pollution.

To ensure that EVs run on the roads full-throttle, there is a requirement of a good charging system. 

An onboard charger is a device converting AC to DC power for charging the battery of an electric or a hybrid vehicle.

This charger connects with the charging station and vehicle controller for determining the correct amount of power, and also abide by the applicable charging standard.

There are numerous standards globally, as well as regional standards for North America, Europe and China. This adjusts to the correct standards on the basis of data obtained from the EVSE controller or vehicle controller.

Making the Onboard Charger Safe

There are more than a few safety mechanisms combined into an OBC for protecting the end user and attain the functional safety that is needed by the automotive applications, for instance shutting the power of if there is an excessive load, and creating a separation amid internal and external components for reducing the chances of electrical failure.

Guaranteeing a cybersecure connection is also important, provided the charger functions just like a high-speed gateway for the traveling of data between the grid and the vehicle when there is an EVSE controller combined with the charger.

The increased development of onboard charger has a lot to do with the continuous developments going on in the electric vehicle charging systems.
