Creating a low-cost EV charging station with Arduino

The high cost of EV (electric vehicle) chargers may lead you to believe that they’re complex systems. But with the exception of Tesla’s Supercharger, that isn’t true. They’re actually quite simple — basically just glorified switches. All of the nitty gritty charging details are the responsibility of the car’s onboard circuitry. With that in mind, […]

This EV charger packs an Arduino-based DIY solution in a commercial enclosure

The rapid adoption of electric vehicles over the last decade has required the installation of additional infrastructure to support them, namely high-voltage chargers that can deliver enough current to the batteries for fast recharging. But due to their potentially high cost, James Fotherby decided to design and build his own 7.2kW charging solution that was simultaneously cheap, […]

DehneEVSE is a custom, Nano 33 IoT-controlled EV charging station

Sebastian Dehne decided to create a custom electric vehicle (EV) charging station for his Nissan Leaf from scratch, as what he calls “a real full stack project.” He notes that designing your own gives you total control over the system, and it’s both fun and cheaper than purchasing a ready-made device. The aptly named DehneEVSE is built […]

Electrically assisted scooter senses forward kicks

Maker Bitluni wanted an electric scooter, but he lives in Germany, where electric vehicles of that type are illegal. Motor-assisted bicycles, however, are not. So he set to work making a sort of hybrid that is controlled not by a throttle directly, but provides assistance when the rider kicks the scooter forward. The scooter uses […]

Uniti ARC is an open-source board for three-phase EV motors

Swedish electric car startup Uniti has unveiled an open-source, Uno-compatible board designed for controlling three-phase motors. The “Uniti ARC” combines the familiar layout of Arduino with a number of other powerful features that will help facilitate the prototyping of electronic machinery — which includes the company’s own EV. Aside from transportation vehicles like cars, e-bikes and e-scooters, the Uniti ARC can be […]
