CHARGERS FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES: BIBLIOGRAPHICAL REVIEW

Abstract

This final paper presents a brief bibliographic research on chargers for electric vehicles. The growing use of electric vehicles makes chargers look more closely. There are several models of vehicles with an electric locomotion system, its charging contains various forms that follow norms and standards necessary for a better performance. Chargers are relevant in this process, as their proper use inhibits safety risks and future problems. The objective of this work is to research electric vehicle (EV) chargers, in order to point out their importance in this new transport system. Thus, a descriptive, qualitative and bibliographic research was carried out. It can be concluded that there are several types of electric vehicle chargers and some are considered better because they are "smart". Some of them allow for greater charging and, consequently, greater energy to be used by the vehicle. Although some information has been identified about EV chargers, there is still little more specific information, requiring further studies on the subject. Thus, for a better understanding of the content, there is at first the approach related to chargers for electric vehicles, concepts and classification of electric vehicles and the types of electric vehicle charging. The steps and resources used for the production of all research, methods, type of study and bases for the collection of information are also highlighted.
