What is an onboard charger for an electric vehicle?
Unlike internal combustion engines, plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) and battery electric vehicles (BEV) use an electric traction motor to drive the vehicle’s wheels. The onboard charger charges the traction battery pack, and the energy stored in the battery is then used to power the electric motor.
When an electric vehicle is plugged into a household outlet or a level 2 charger, the charging cable pulls alternating current (AC) from the power grid and sends it to the onboard charger. In order to store the electric power in the battery, the onboard charger must then convert AC to direct current (DC).

Additionally, the onboard charger monitors voltage, current, temperature, and state of charge while charging for the safety of the electrical system and the driver.

Resource Highlights
An exhaust gas recirculation valve, or EGR valve is an essential part of any vehicle. It performs the job of recirculating finely metered quantities of exhaust gas to the engine intake system. Due to its important role, correct calibration is vital.
Discover how to calibrate an EGR valve as our Delphi expert shares all this:
What does EGR stand for?
EGR stands for exhaust gas recirculation, which is exactly what the valve does.
Does the EGR valve only limit dangerous emissions?
As well as lowering NOx emissions, the EGR valve also helps increase engine efficiency and lower fuel consumption.
Are all EGR valves the same?
No, there are different types depending on the vehicle and its age, but the EGR valve calibration process is the same.
How long does calibration take?
Fitting a new EGR valve can take varying amounts of time depending on the vehicle. But calibrating it can be done in a matter of minutes.
