The Issue

Project Innovation

This project will implement a new powertrain scheme for a plug-in electric vehicle that adds isolated fast charging and discharging capability of its energy storage device directly from/to the building. This plug-in electric vehicle powertrain is accomplished by using the vehicle's motor as a high-power isolation transformer when the vehicle is parked and connected to the grid or the building. The proposed powertrain scheme does not increase the weight, volume, and cost of the current plug-in electric vehicle's powertrain, eliminating the need of bulky off-board fast chargers and reducing infrastructure complexity and cost.
