Functional Description - Vehicle Charging Port

The Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) System is equipped with plug-in charging capabilities. This allows the high voltage Battery to charge when the Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) Charging Cable is plugged into the vehicle's Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J1772 Charge Port. The SAE J1772 Charge Port is connected to the IDCM through a dedicated five circuit wire harness. The SAE J1772 Charge Port supplies AC power to the IDCM, which converts the AC power into DC power. The IDCM supplies the DC power to the High Voltage Battery Pack Control Module (BPCM) to maintain a proper State Of Charge (SOC) for the high voltage battery.
