Charging

Charging #

The car will implement:

  • Type 2 AC charging. Single phase at 3.3kw, three phase at 10kw.
  • CCS DC fast charging at 50kw.
  • CHAdeMO DC fast charging at 50kw.

Charge Ports #

The car will have two charge ports. The tail lights will be doors and the charge ports will sit behind them.

AC Charging #

I’ll use a Tesla Gen 2 charger for on board charger for AC charging. I have the modboard from EVBMW. The OBC will likely go in the ‘fuel tank’ area where I was originally planning to put the batteries.

CHAdeMO #

I’m creating a custom CHAdeMO controller. The hardware was designed in KiCAD. You can view the project files here. The code is over here.

CCS #

There are two possible approaches.

  1. Use the BMW i3 LIM module + a custom controller.
  2. Use the foccci project.
