The high cost of EV (electric vehicle) chargers may lead you to believe that they’re complex systems. But with the exception of Tesla’s Supercharger, that isn’t true. They’re actually quite simple — basically just glorified switches. All of the nitty gritty charging details are the responsibility of the car’s onboard circuitry. With that in mind, […]
I’m generally all for DIY, but high voltage/high current stuff like this seems least appropriate for it.
Plus, I imagine most of the cost of building a charger is in the beefy relays and such, not the control circuit.
