Why don’t they use the EV’s “motor controller” as a charger? It seems to me that you could disconnect the motor and connect power directly to the controller and charge the battery as you would during braking regen. Even if had to be three phase and you couldn’t do it at home, couldn’t it replace the need for a DC quick charger? But I guess the rate or kw capacity would be limited to what the controller is capable of delivering, probably need more cooling for the controller among other things But might we see this in the future? Or am I missing something.
