TL;DR: In this paper, a multiresonant dc-dc converter in a two-stage smart battery charger for neighborhood electric vehicle applications is presented, which eliminates both low and high-frequency current ripple on the battery, thus maximizing battery life without penalizing the volume of the charger.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of existing technological solutions for wireless power transfer used in electric vehicle battery chargers is given in this article, where the concept of each solution is thoroughly reviewed and the feasibility is evaluated considering the present limitations in power electronics technology, cost and consumer acceptance.

TL;DR: The paper deals with industry related EV energy storage system issues, EV charging issues, as well as power electronics and traction motor drives issues, and various EV propulsion system architectures and efficient bidirectional DC/DC converter topologies.

TL;DR: In this article, a bridgeless interleaved power factor correction topology is proposed for level II plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) battery charging, which can achieve high efficiency, which is critical for minimizing the charger size and the amount and cost of electricity drawn from the utility.

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that the phase shifted semi-bridgeless PFC boost converter is ideally suited for automotive level I residential charging applications in North America, where the typical supply is limited to 120 V and 1.44 kVA.
