  • Publication number: 20230158908
    Abstract: A refrigerant amount monitoring and charging control system for an electric vehicle and a method thereof include: a controller; a battery management module electrically connected to the controller; a high-speed charging gun connected to the vehicle when the vehicle is charged and configured to generate a high-speed charging signal during performing high-speed charging and to send the high-speed charging signal to the controller; an ambient temperature sensor electrically connected to the controller and configured to obtain an ambient temperature and to send the obtained ambient temperature to the controller; and a chiller including an electronic expansion valve and an evaporator. A situation where a vehicle battery is unable to be cooled by a refrigerant due to an insufficient refrigerant amount may be prevented by controlling charging power based on a monitoring result of a current refrigerant amount.
