The EV Charging Infrastructure Designbook, Volume Two: Control

We’ve created the EV Charging Infrastructure Designbook to help you navigate the rapidly developing technology and engineering challenges in this space. Across four volumes, this guide will cover the critical functionality and requirements of EV charging stations, including power, control, communications, and software and integration.

This is the second in a series of guides for designers of fixed AC and DC EV charging stations, where we consider control functionality necessary and its implementation. ‘Control’ includes the circuitry required to sense and monitor the charging operation and drive the various power conversion stages appropriately for safe, accurate and efficient delivery of power to the battery.

Also considered is the remote control and monitoring of the charger system, whether by the utility company or the vehicle driver, to enable secure charge scheduling, V2G and V2B operation, and billing. A further guide will address the detail of the connectivity functions required.
