FCC: Fast Charge Controller
DC fast charging for vehicles that were never designed for it
The FCC is IonLab's in-house fast charge controller. It manages the conversation between the vehicle and a public DC rapid charger, so conversions, prototypes and low-volume vehicles can use the same charging network as production EVs.
What it does
Handles the charger handshake and charging session
Works with the BMS to set safe current and voltage limits
Controls the charge-port contactors and safety interlocks
Reports charging status to the UVCU and the dashboard
Why It Is Different
Integrated with our UVCU and BMS it allows full control of vehicle systems during fast-charging. If you want the driver to sit in the car with the heater on whilst fast-charging, our system can handle it.
Status
Tested on BP, Shell, Instavolt and other fast chargers.
