METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR CHARGING WITH DIRECT CURRENT AND ALTERNATING CURRENT

Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to charge an energy storage device on a vehicle. The system includes instructions to detect direct current or alternating current on or at an input terminal of a vehicle electrical system, the input terminal to receive electrical energy to charge the energy storage device on the vehicle; based on detection of direct current, generate a first pilot signal that includes a first pulse width modulated signal associated with a first mode including a first duty cycle range; based on detection of alternating current, generate a second pilot signal that includes a second pulse width modulated signal associated with a second mode including a second duty cycle range, wherein the first duty cycle range is lower than the second duty cycle range; and charge the energy storage device based on detection of the first pilot signal or the second pilot signal.
