3.1.1 Lecture: Introduction to Charging Methods of EVs

Course subject(s) Module 3. Charging of EVs

There are different ways to charge the EV battery. In all these methods power from the conventional AC grid is directly or indirectly converted from AC to DC to charge the EV battery. In the Introduction course, we looked at AC and DC charging of EV. Besides this, EVs can be charged by wireless inductive charging and by battery swap technology. Watch this lecture by Pavol Bauer to get an overview of the various EV charging methods!

Learning goals:

1. 1. What are the various charging methods for EVs?
  2. What are the pros and cons of each of those charging methods?
  3. What are the different categories in each of the charging methods?
