Open EV Charging Summit 2024: Hardware Design Considerations for EV Charging

As the electric vehicle (EV) industry continues to surge forward, the demand for efficient, reliable, and robust infrastructure is becoming increasingly more important. Off-the-shelf EV Charging solutions aren’t always enough and a custom solution is required. This session highlights how a PHYTEC phyCORE-AM62x SOM can be leveraged to accelerate a custom EVSE hardware solution. Topics covered include typical design considerations, component selection, digital and analog circuits, Linux OS and real-time interface selections, and thermal management. Central to this discussion is Design for Software (DfS) principles, which will allow for seamless integration of Pionix EVerest and Basecamp. By minimizing the impact of software you can reduce your overall software development expenses for bring up and maintenance. Speaker: Zach Hudson, Embedded Hardware Engineer, PHYTEC
