Abstract

The variety of electric vehicles is still restricted due to their charging periods. By introducing a new type of converter and
optimization methods, the limitations of charging time can be overcome. In this work, an innovative H-Bridge controlled
transformer-less Buck-Boost DC-DC Converter proposed for EV charging applications. The main contribution of the proposed
converter is to provide higher efficiency and increase the charging speed. The converter performance is verified using simulation
and experimental results. Compared to other topologies, the proposed converter increases charging time and switching speed.
