Electric vehicles (EVs), particularly two-wheelers, are gaining traction as sustainable urban mobility solutions. However, the lack of quick and easy charging infrastructure makes it difficult for them to be widely adopted. It’s no surprise that the electric vehicle (EV) market is expanding very quickly. With the many benefits of EVs, such as lower emissions, reduced fuel costs, and quieter operation, they are becoming an increasingly attractive option for environmentally conscious consumers. The need for effective charging infrastructure systems to charge EVs more quickly is growing globally as more EVs are put on the road. Thankfully, there are various types of chargers being developed for EVs, including off-board chargers, onboard chargers (OBC), and various DC-to-DC converter architectures. Of all the components that make up an EV, the battery is the most critical, as it supplies energy to the entire system. With advancements in battery technology, an EV can now charge faster, which not only extends the battery’s service life and lifespan but also paves the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future. This project focuses on developing a quick charging solution using a Zeta Converter-based DC–DC charger for two-wheeler EVs. Because of their great efficiency, minimal output voltage ripple, and suitability for applications needing high power density and low noise, zeta converters are recommended. A fourth-request DC converter is cognized as the Zeta Converter known for giving voltage move-forward and step-down capacities, which can fundamentally upgrade the presentation for ideal similarity with the EV battery framework. Through this joining, the research seeks to achieve a lower ripple at the Output in an isolated zeta converter. This research evaluates the performance and reliability of isolated Zeta Converter chargers to meet the growing demands of modern EV technology.
