Abstract: With advancement in technologies, it is suggested that electricity is the most suitable energy carrier for transportation. For this to happen we need powerful battery charging stations. In this project we have proposed a level-2 on-board plug-in battery charger which operates in fast charging mode (up to 4-6hrs), and will notify the charging status to the user, over the Wi-Fi. This paper presents design and implementation of a Single-Phase Vienna rectifier as Power Factor Correction circuit to improve the overall efficiency of the charger. Smart features include monitoring the cells in the battery to make sure that they function properly and notify the user of the issue, if any, in the battery pack. It also indicates possible failures that may occur in the battery pack. Different types of batteries can be charged as per the required voltage and current levels to ensure longevity of battery life. The implemented charger can work at 180-250VAC and can supply up to 20 Amperes of current, depending on battery charging specifications.
