Abstract---In this paper we propose a single phase bidirectional EDROC for electric vehicles using ARDUINO. With the advancement of technology, several techniques are being introduced to improve and simplify the human life. With that being considered, here we put forward a methodology which will both benefit the environment and the economy. The proposed system modifies the existing hardware without the need of an extra equipment. The proposed EDROC on comparison with the traditional EDROC possess advantages such as reduction in cost and volume. The proposed EDROC generates unity power factor in the charging mode and discharges the stored energy to drive the motor in the driving mode. A prototype model is being designed to depict the operation in the charging mode and the driving mode.
