A two-stage converter connects the input grid voltage to a pack of batteries with the voltage varying between 48-400 V, depending on the size and the range of the vehicle, with battery-operated electric and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEVs). This article offers a unique built-in converter that can interface with both high voltage (HV) and low voltage (LV) batteries. For all car architectures a universal charger that can accommodate this wide range of battery pack voltages is suitable. The novel integrated buck and boost converter (IBBC) is the proposed converter supplied using AC-DC driver at the front end mode. The main objective of this paper is to show a universal battery charger for an EV with a high power factor (PFC) and a small total harmonic distortion (THD) in addition to the high power density. A PFC converter is formed without any auxiliary circuit to balance the output voltage dependence of the battery against fluctuations in the ac grid input voltage, which in turn reduces the cost of additional circuit. A closed loop controller scheme is used to adjust for variations in the broad range output voltage and load. The proposed topology’s detailed operation is simulated using the MATLAB/Simulink software and achieved a THD of 1.18%.
