Electric vehicles are needed to reduce air pollution in metropolitan areas. For electric vehicles to succeed, efficient battery chargers that generate very little harmonic distortion are needed. This paper discusses the design of a battery charger that utilizes a microprocessor to control a ferroresonant transformer, resulting in a ``smart`` charger. 12 refs.
