Abstract
Extreme fast charging of electric vehicles technologies is coming. Heavy duty electric vehicles (HD-EVs) are in development and are expected to have multipliers bigger in battery capacity compared to the light duty counterparts. To meet short charging times, MW charging will be necessary. This paper presents a MW scale extreme DC fast charger with a communication and control architecture for HD-EVs. The system is validated in a controller hardware in the loop platform.
