ON BOARD CHARGER

An on-board charger (OBC) is a device integrated into Electric Vehicles (EVs) and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs) that converts Alternating Current (AC) power from external charging stations into Direct Current (DC) power needed to charge the vehicle's battery.  It handles the communication between the vehicle and the charging station, ensuring the correct charging standard and power are applied. OBCs are essential for convenient, flexible, and efficient charging from standard outlets and public AC charging stations and play a key role in battery management and safety
