A major barrier to the wide take up of electric vehicles is a lack of fast charging infrastructure. This is linked to the high costs of present off-board charger/controllers (which effect the complex charge process), and also to concerns that these chargers could cause poor power quality resulting in: increased electricity system peak demands above available system capacity, reduced safety and lifetime costs of electricity system equipment, and more supply variation interruption to electricity consumers. This paper describes a study which evaluated the costs to provide charging infrastructure for recently developed fast charge systems which are located on-board the vehicle and eliminate the need for off-board charges/controllers, providing a high power quality when charging. The systems also offer cost and performance advantages for car manufacturers by serving as a high performance EV drive controller which, at no added cost, can perform several other EV functions.
