Abstract: Electric Vehicles (EV) are becoming more popular in present scenario because it can be easily charged using charger. Thus, the chargers play a vital role in EV vehicle. Hence, many distinct types of EV charging technologies have been developed so far. This paper reviewes an effective and quick charging approach which extends the life cycle of a battery with high charging efficiency. This article also presents about characteristics of charger in terms of converter topologies, modulation schemes and control algorithms. 
Keywords: Electric Vehicles, Converter, Modulation Schemes, Battery Charger.
Scope of the Article: Process & Device Technologies
