EV power converter tests require bidirectional DC power sourcing / sinking in the 3kW to 30 kW range. Learn how to use off-the-shelf test system resources to apply sourcing power and electrical loads to bidirectional and unidirectional converters.
Hyundai recently released an interesting basic set of tips on how to maximize EV battery life in its plug-ins (which refers also to all plug-ins).
In cold weather, on a steep hill or when your battery is fully charged, One Pedal Driving will be limited. To monitor the ability of One-Pedal Driving to slow down or stop your vehicle, check the REGEN icon in your Driver Information Center. When it turns from green to gray, do not ...
Bi-directional charging is a two-way street. Rather than just drawing power from the grid, an EV can send it back. There are two general ways to get AC power back out of the battery.1. Separate DC-DC converter and DC-AC inverter2. Bi-directional power conv...
So-called “storage ready” systems are already equipped with an inverter that can easily direct excess power into a battery. But even if your system wasn’t designed with storage in mind, you still have options. Let’s explore how easy it is to add a battery to your existing solar ...
