Vehicle Charging Control Unit

Was ist eine Fahrzeugladesteuerungseinheit (VCCU)?

The Vehicle Charging Control Unit (VCCU) is the core controller in EV charging systems, regulating power flow, managing communication with the charger and battery management system (BMS), and ensuring charging safety. It supports AC/DC switching, real-time battery monitoring, and smart charging protocols like ISO 15118. As EVs evolve, the VCCU enables features such as V2G, remote diagnostics, and AI-driven charging. It’s a key enabler of safe, efficient, and intelligent EV charging in modern electric vehicles.

Onboard Charger (OBC)

Was ist ein Onboard-Ladegerät (OBC) in einem Elektrofahrzeug? So laden Sie Ihr Auto

The Onboard Charger (OBC) is a crucial EV component that converts AC power from home or public chargers into DC power to safely charge the battery. OBC power ratings typically range from 3.3 kW to 22 kW, determining AC charging speed. Unlike DC fast charging, which bypasses the OBC, onboard chargers ensure stable, efficient, and safe charging. Advanced OBCs also enable bi-directional energy flow for Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) applications. Understanding OBC function helps EV owners optimize charging strategies and select compatible accessories.
