I took the Nissan Leaf PDM apart:
So in modern chargers current passes over EMC filters, rectifier, PFC boost stage, chopper stage, high frequency transformer, another rectifier and another EMC filter. No wonder charging losses are rather high and you need liquid cooling.

Re: Nissan Leaf PDM teardown
Are parts from this available? I have a PDM with a fried pfc/chopper board (I think) that I wouldn't mind using sometime in the future. Can't promise any open source development on it but I'll at least document my improvisations next time.

Yes I'd give away all of the charger parts, let me know your address and just send 15€ for tracked shipping

Cool. It looks more simpler than the huge housing would let one think...

Re: Nissan Leaf PDM teardown
Hi Johannes,
I too did not use the Charger from the EM57 Stack, just the inverter and motor. But on my '70 MGB project i will need a DC-DC charger sufficient to power the MGs lights etc. Can the DC-DC Charger board be rigged to supply 13.8VDC to run the accessories and keep the battery charged while turned on and supplying it the leaf battery voltage?
sorry, I can't figure out how to show the board jpg I have in this post
