achieved. To charge to battery SOC of 80% from about SOC of 30%, the required charging durations in both winter and summer are 35 and 20 min, respectively. During summer, a relatively high charging rate (about 40 kW) can be achieved up to an SOC of about 50%. However, the charging rate decreases moderately in accordance with the increase of battery Figure 1. Charging rate and SOC change of battery in different season of charging: (a) winter, (b) summer.
