In hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) systems, the task of the electric motor and the power electronics is to process and control the electrical energy flow to meet the vehicle's power demands with maximal efficiency in various driving situations. Depending on the type and configuration of a HEV system, the electric motor and the power electronics could make up more than 25% of the total material cost, which is almost equal to the expense of the energy storage system. In HEV/EV systems, a DC‐AC inverter is one of the most important parts in hybrid electric and purely electric vehicles. This chapter section introduces the operating principle of the most common DC‐AC inverters. In order to charge the battery of a Plug‐in HEV (PHEV)/battery‐powered EV (BEV), a high‐efficiency charger is needed. The chapter discusses a few charging levels that is defined by the Electric Power Research Institute.
