Design of Battery Charging Control System (Fast Charging) on Electric Vehicle based on Atmega32 Microcontroller

Electric Vehicles are vehicles that do not release toxic gases that can reduce environmental pollution caused by combustion. The electric vehicle requires a lithium ion battery as a replacement energy source of fuel oil so it needs charging a battery that can speed up charging safely. This research uses fast charging method through high current method and adjusts the current capacity needed by the battery in accordance with the result of circuit specification. This research uses rectifier circuit, buck converter, Atmega microcontroller. The results of this study are expected to increase current capacity and speed up the process of charging the battery.
