A systems-level look at electric two-wheeler design
Two/Three-Wheeler EV Charger Reference Design with CAN Control
As the electrification of automobiles and trucks is progressing, so is the electrification of two-wheeled transportation platforms. Electric motorcycles, bicycles and scooters have many of the same subsystems as larger electric vehicles, including motor driver units, vehicle control units, battery management systems and instrument clusters. While the power levels of the drive systems are lower, the same type of innovation is required to bring Electric Two Wheelers (ETWs) to market. We encourage that innovation with our expertise and experience as an automotive supplier, combined with our advanced hardware, software and development tools.

Enabling the Next-Generation of E-Mobility with Scalable Solutions
Microchip Technology addresses these challenges through a suite of comprehensive, automotive grade reference designs for critical E2W subsystems. These solutions are built on Microchip’s expansive portfolio of microcontrollers (MCUs), microprocessors (MPUs), digital signal controllers (DSCs), mixed-signal and power management devices and communication interfaces. Core Benefits of the E2W Platform
- Accelerated time-to-market with proven, application-specific reference designs.
- Scalable and modular architectures that support multiple motor power classes from 350W to 10
kW.
- Built-in functional safety features aligned with ISO 26262 and ASIL standards.
- Seamless interoperability across subsystems via robust wired and wireless communication
protocols.
The global transportation industry is undergoing a rapid transformation, driven by the urgent need for sustainable mobility solutions. As governments and consumers alike prioritize lower emissions and energy efficiency, Electric Two-Wheelers (E2Ws) have emerged as a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative to Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles. Adoption of E2Ws for recreational use and daily commuting is on the rise in densely populated urban environments across Asia, Europe and other emerging markets.Designing and manufacturing a modern E2W that meets today’s performance, safety and connectivity standards is complex. OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers face significant challenges with integrating multiple subsystems such as traction motor control, battery management, onboard charging, lighting and telematics into a single platform, while ensuring scalability, modularity and compliance with functional safety requirements.

Our 1.5kW two/three-wheeler EV charger reference design is a digitally controlled front-end PFC + LLC converter, suitable for charging the 2/3wheeler battery from direct AC mains input with high power factor, low THD and high efficiency. The reference design is mainly a combination of two PCBs, i.e.: Power Card and Control Card. The control card is vertically mounted on the power card using the 2.54 mm male-female connector and the current transformer (CT) is mounted on the control card. The current sensor wiring is done from the power card PCB and passing through the CT.
