Voltage surge and transient suppression in EV chargers

Charged EVs

Although it is not practical to fully harden an electronic device against a direct lightning strike with peak amplitudes in the 100s of megavolts and kiloamperes range, the chances of such happening are also vanishingly remote, fortunately (even here in Florida). The most obvious example of this is when a motor is switched on or off.
