  • Publication number: 20250162440
    Abstract: A system for managing vehicle charging adapted for a charging gun includes a communication bus, a battery, a sensor, an OBC, and a domain controller. The domain controller receives a first voltage and a second voltage that correspond to a current of charge to the battery from the sensor, and when determining that both the battery and the OBC are operating normally based on information received through the communication bus, notifies the OBC through the communication bus to start charging the battery with electricity received from the charging gun. When determining that an amount of charged power calculated using a calibrated voltage, which is obtained based on the first voltage or the second voltage, has reached a predetermined amount, the domain controller sends a stop message to the communication bus so as to notify the OBC to stop charging the battery.
