Tackling the Challenges of Electric Vehicle Fast Charging

In this white paper we explore the growing electric vehicle market and the demands it is placing on society to deliver battery-charging solutions that, as far as possible, emulate the ease of refueling that consumers and businesses experience today. The standards around electric vehicle chargers are explored along with the approaches and topologies that are gaining momentum in this unique application space. The experience of Infineon with existing system architectures, from power conversion to payment systems and security, are reviewed. This is then underpinned with an examination of a range of electronic components, evaluation systems and supporting software that will be crucial to the implementation of electric vehicle charging systems for years to come.
