Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2022266064A1] Systems and methods are provided herein for integrating a step-down transformer into an electric vehicle charging station (EVCS). Integrating a step-down transformer into an EVCS optimizes electric vehicle charging and provides for more flexible EVCS placement. For example, the EVCS's power source (e.g., electrical room) can transmit power to the EVCS at a higher voltage (e.g., 480 V) because the power will be stepped down by the EVCS before charging an electric vehicle at a lower voltage (e.g., 240 V). Transmitting power at a higher voltage reduces power loss during transmission so electric vehicles can be charged more efficiently.
