A review on unidirectional converters for on-board chargers in electric vehicle
Open accessAbstract
Transport is a vital sector for achieving sustainable development. The evolution of the electric vehicle is subject to the charging time, accessibility, and facility. On-board chargers are broadly used in the battery-electric and plug-in-electric fleets due to their easy installation and low cost. Also, it must be powerful and extremely efficient because of the constrained interior area and quick charging times. The minimization of hardware requirements and ease of interconnection problems are benefits of unidirectional charging. This review article presents an overview of charging levels, standards of chargers, and various topologies. On-board chargers pose a higher-power rating that reduces the anxiety of charging time and improves the charging facility on level-1 and level-2 grid supply. Unidirectional chargers reduce the charger size while other two-stage chargers pose a higher charging rate with various topologies. Finally, emerging charging trends in off-board charging, inductive charging, technology about vehicle-to-grid, wide-bandgap devices, and application of renewable energy uses are addressed.

Japan uses its own electric vehicle charging standards, namely Japan Electric Vehicle Association (JEVA) and CHAdeMO Association.
“Japan uses its own EV charging standards, namely Japan Electric Vehicle Association (JEVA) and CHAdeMO Association [23,57].”
From On-Board Chargers for Electric Vehicles: A Comprehensive Performance and Efficiency Review (2024) · cites this paper as [57]
Section 5 (page unavailable) says Japan has its own EV charging standards and names the Japan Electric Vehicle Association, but gives the acronym as JEVS, not JEVA. It does not name the CHAdeMO Association as another Japanese standards body. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
