The number of electric vehicles on the road is increasing like anything, after the governments of numerous countries have started promoting the use of electric vehicles. This is mostly done with an intention of decreasing the levels of air and noise pollution.

To ensure that EVs run on the roads full-throttle, there is a requirement of a good charging system. 

An onboard charger is a device converting AC to DC power for charging the battery of an electric or a hybrid vehicle.

This charger connects with the charging station and vehicle controller for determining the correct amount of power, and also abide by the applicable charging standard.

Making the Onboard Charger Safe

There are more than a few safety mechanisms combined into an OBC for protecting the end user and attaining the functional safety that is needed by automotive applications, for instance shutting the power off if there is an excessive load and creating a separation amid internal and external components for reducing the chances of electrical failure. 

Guaranteeing a cyber secure connection is also important, provided the charger functions just like a high-speed gateway for the traveling of data between the grid and the vehicle when there is an EVSE controller combined with the charger.

The increased development of onboard chargers has a lot to do with the continuous developments going on in the electric vehicle charging systems.
