MUMBAI, India, Aug. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202421012368 A) filed by Mahindra Electric Automobile Limited, Maharashtra, on Feb. 21, 2024, for 'a method and system for integrating inverter function in an electric vehicle-to-load (v2l) inverter adaptor.'
Inventor(s) include Varun Chand Ullam; Anandha Kumaren; Kumar Meghnathan; and Binoy Paul.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 22, under issue no. 34/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses a method(1000) and system(100) for integrating the inverter function in an electric vehicle-to-load (V2L) inverter adaptor(101). The V2L charge inverter adaptor(101) communicates with the VCU(102) using a communication signal. The communication signal is generated by the timer circuit(104) of the V2L inverter adaptor(101), using a 4.5V signal coming from the VCU(102). On receiving the communication signal from the V2L inverter adaptor(101), the VCU(102) closes the HV electric contactors(105). The VCU(102) receives an acknowledgment signal from the V2L inverter adaptor(101) within a predefined time. Further, a PCBA (108) of the V2L inverter adaptor(101) is switched ON as the VCU(102) closes the HV electric contactors(105). The electronics unit(110) and the MCU(111) inside the V2L inverter adaptor(101) perform the inverter function and supply power to the external load (230V, 16A load). Thus, the integration of the inverter function in V2L inverter adaptor(101) enables discharging of HV battery with unidirectional on-board charge of electric vehicles."
