Abstract

An EV charger has an AC port, a variable voltage DC power supply connected to the AC port and comprising a controller having an input to receive charging parameters, a charge cable connector connectable to a battery, an interface connectable to the connectors and to the input of the DC power supply wherein the interface performs either translating a battery management system voltage command regarding charging parameters of the battery received via the charge cable connector into the input for the variable voltage DC power supply, or generating the input for the variable voltage DC power supply defining the charging parameters for the battery from measured information about the battery.
