22kW EV DC Fast Charging Station

22kW DC fast EV charger with CCS2/CHAdeMO/GB-T protocols, OCPP 1.6 cloud management, and 96% efficiency.

EV ChargingDC-DCCCSOCPP

Project brief

A 22kW DC fast charging station for electric vehicles, supporting CCS Combo 2, CHAdeMO, and GB/T 20234.3 charge protocols. The power electronics stage uses SiC MOSFETs in an interleaved two-phase boost PFC followed by a phase-shifted full bridge DC-DC converter with synchronous rectification, achieving 96.2% peak efficiency. OCPP 1.6 JSON protocol enables cloud-based energy management.

The project describes a charger integrating power electronics and communications. The explanatory workflow adds no interoperability or compliance certification evidence.

The engineering challenge

Coordinate power conversion, vehicle negotiation, session control, and supervisory connectivity.

Engineering approach

  1. Separate the power stage from protocol and session-management functions.
  2. Use negotiated voltage and current targets within converter control.
  3. Integrate protection inputs, user authentication, and remote status reporting.
