Abstract

Electric vehicles are increasing their place in the market with each passing day. The widespread use of this technology accelerates the development of sub-equipment in electric vehicles. Intensive studies are carried out for the develop-ment of many sub-equipment. One of the most important of these is the charging systems of electric vehicles. While electric vehicles are developing, charging systems are also developing rapidly in parallel. In this article, an integrated and isolated unidirectional lithium-ion battery charger design aspects has been im-plemented for a small-scale electric vehicle in three steps such as simulation, prototype and final product. As a result of the study, the prototype and final products are succeed on a 500 W DC load and the design aspects are demonstrat-ed.
