Abstract: Electric and hybrid electric vehicles represent a paradigm shift in the automotive industry, aiming to reduce carbon emissions, dependence on fossil fuels, and mitigate environmental impact. HEVs combine a gas engine with electric motors, automatically choosing the optimal source and blend of power. Because the hybrid battery recharges on the go through regenerative braking, you never need to plug in. Hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) technology provides excellent solutions to enhance fuel efficiency, performance, and reduce emissions compared to conventional vehicles. Plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a type of hybrid that can be charged by plugging it into an electrical outlet and has a longer electric range. Plug-in hybrids are equipped with high-capacity batteries that can power the vehicle solely on electricity, allowing for efficient and eco-friendly driving. The battery pack can be recharged using electricity from a nearby power source. This paper suggests a novel integrated converter that can handle both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) for the conversion of plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) and hybrid vehicles. The integrated converter can serve as a battery charger and convert electricity between the battery pack and the electric traction machine bus bar pressure. The findings indicate that the combined converter minimizes the number of high-current inductors and current meters, while also ensuring fault current tolerance in PHEV conversion.
