The awareness of cleaner environment has lead to the intensity use of electric machine and battery has been developed to be used intensely in motor vehicle. For this situation, a paper for modeling a high power factor (PF) and low ripple factor (RF) for electric vehicle battery charging application has been proposed. The single stage high power factor converter will be proposed in this paper. The modeling parameters are inductance (L), capacitance (C), load resistance (R), load reactance (XC) and power factor correction circuit (PFC).- It shown that ripple factor can reduced less than 10% by varied the parameters and power factor also can be improved by using the PFC circuit. In this simulation also need to obtain the desired value of output to supply to the battery of electric vehicle.
