Problems solved by technology

A standard EVSE power cabinet is limited in the number of distributors it can be connected to
Limitations may include the number of power modules in the cabinet, the power output required by the splitter, or the size of the power cabinet
[0004] Due to the lack of distributors for each power cabinet, the required size of each power cabinet, and the space required for the conduits for power cables to run to each cabinet, providing a large number of Allocators are challenging
Additionally, it can be challenging to provide a large number of dispensers to a fleet of electric vehicles, which may all need to be charged during off-hours (e.g., overnight)

Abstract

Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative charging systems, electrical dispensers, dispenser chains, methods of charging a vehicle, and methods of providing charging power to a vehicle. A charging system includes a power cabinet having at least one direct current (DC) power module. The charging system also includes at least one dispenser chain, each dispenser chain being electrically couplable to a respective DC power module. Each dispenser chain includes dispensers that are electrically couplable with each other in series and that are configured to dispense electrical power, each of the dispensers being controllable such that electrical power is dispensable by only one dispenser in its dispenser chain at a time.

Description

Background technique [0001] The present disclosure relates to charging of electric vehicles. [0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art. [0003] With the widespread use of electric vehicles, there is an increasing need for charging resources and standardization. Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) is a standard used for vehicle charging equipment. A standard EVSE power cabinet is limited in the number of distributors it can be connected to. Limitations may include the number of power modules in the cabinet, the power output required by the splitter, or the size of the power cabinet. [0004] Due to the lack of distributors for each power cabinet, the required size of each power cabinet, and the space required for the conduits for power cables to run to each cabinet, providing a large number of Allocators are challenging. Additionally, it can be challenging to provid...
