PDM (Power Delivery Module)

INFOID:0000000010121203

The PDM (Power Delivery Module)  is installed to the upper part of

drive motor in the motor room together with drive motor inverter and

consists of a charger and DC/DC converter.

The charger converts external AC power source to DC power source

(260 – 410 V), and charges the Li-ion battery according to the type of

charging. The DC/DC converter charges the auxiliary 12V battery

according to the VCM command.

EVSE

INFOID:0000000010121204

The EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment) is manufactured based on the specifications prescribed in

SAE-J1772, and is for charging by connecting a commercial power source to the vehicle. The EVSE consists

of a plug, cable, control box, and a normal charge connector and supplies power to the vehicle using commer-

cial power. By conducting PWM communication with the PDM (Power Delivery Module), the EVSE performs

safe and suitable charging for the vehicle. 

Normal Charge Connector

The normal charge connector  is equipped with a release switch

to maintain the connection between the normal charge port and the

charge connector.

The charging connector is equipped with a release switch to main-

tain the connection between the normal charging port and the charg-

ing connector. In addition, a circuit for detecting the hold status is

incorporated into the release switch, which stops the charging tem-

porarily if the release switch is pressed during charging.

NOTE:

• When the release switch is pressed, the contacts turn OFF.

• The release switch cannot be pressed while the charge connector

is locked.

Control Box

The control box  is equipped with an indicator  that can be used to

check the charging status and malfunction detection status. The indi-

cator operates in the following cases when a commercial power sup-

ply is connected to the EVSE. 

<List of Operations>

Charge Port

INFOID:0000000010121205

The charge port is installed at the front of the vehicle and is equipped
with a normal charge port  and a quick charge port  (with quick

charge port models). For charging, connect the EVSE or quick

charge connector to the charge port according to the type of charg-

ing, and then start charging.

NOTE:

The figure shows a model with quick charge port.

Charge Port Light

INFOID:0000000010121206

The charge port light  is installed to the inside of the charge port lid.

It turns ON when the charge port is unlocked for improving workabil-

ity during charging.

Charge Connector Lock Actuator

INFOID:0000000010121207

The charge connector lock actuator is installed to the normal charge
port upper portion, and is composed of the swing arm  that locks
the charge connector and the actuator  that operates the swing

arm. The actuator operates according to the operation signal from

VCM.

Charge Connector Lock Switch

INFOID:0000000010121208

The charge connector lock switch is installed on the left instrument

lower panel. It allows the charge connector lock mode to be selected

according to the charging type.

Immediate Charging Switch

INFOID:0000000010121209
