A method is provided for controlling engagement between a vehicle and a charging device includes: attempting to discover a charging device; when the charging device is discovered, identifying the discovered charging device on a list of charging equipment stored in the vehicle; determining a charging history count of the discovered charging device according to the stored list of charging equipment; when the charging history count of the discovered charging device is greater than or equal to a predetermined number, performing a charging operation with the discovered charging device; and when the charging history count of the discovered charging device is less than the predetermined number, performing a Signal Level Attenuation Characterization (SLAC) procedure against the discovered charging device.

Apparatus and method for charging electric vehicle

A method and charging system for effectively performing measurement of a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal for selection of a charging mode between an electric vehicle and a charger are disclosed. The method for determining a charging mode of an electric vehicle includes measuring a duty ratio of a control signal applied to a communication line of a charger connector by a first controller for controlling slow charging and a second controller for controlling quick charging, transmitting measurement results obtained from each of the first controller and the second controller to a third controller in charge of a battery, determining a final duty ratio using the measurement results by the third controller, transmitting the determined final duty ratio to the first controller and the second controller, and starting charging in a mode corresponding to the final duty ratio.

Method and charging system for selecting charging mode of electric vehicle

A connector converter for a vehicle includes a connection controller configured to control connection between the vehicle and a charger. A communication protocol converter is configured to perform message conversion between the vehicle and the charger. The communication protocol converter employs different communication protocols when the vehicle is chargeably connected to the charger under control of the connection controller. A connector communicator is configured to transmit a message output from the communication protocol converter to the vehicle or the charger.
