ev charging
Electric vehicles . I think the future. they are much better at things like efficiency much cleaner in theory require less maintenance again in theory. They are easier to fuel up also . I like them .
That's why I decided I design an EV charger out of boredom.
I chose to design an ac charger that could charge 3x16 amps that's should be enough for most households.
So as it turned out electric cars have an onboard charger. So in theory I can chuck 230v into the cable and start charging.
Takeaway its not that simple.
The cars have brains. Smart brains . They start charging when they sense communication between them and the connector. So this communication if I read correctly is a 12v PWM signal. Other than the PWM signal its preaty easi to make a charger again if I am read the correct things.
So for my charger I gonna need an arduino like microcontroller and relays.
sounds simple . so I decided to design one.
