Apparatuses and methods for charging an electric aircraft

Abstract

A system for charging an electric aircraft. The system includes an electric aircraft port, at least a current conductor, a power supply circuit and a controller. The electric aircraft port is configured to mate with a charging connector. At least a portion of the at least a current conductor is at the electric aircraft port. The at least a current conductor is configured to conduct a charging current to at least an energy source of the electric aircraft. The power supply circuit is electrically connected to the at least a current conductor. The power supply circuit is configured to regulate the charging current supplied to the at least an energy source. The controller is communicatively connected to the power supply circuit. The controller is configured to control operation of the power supply circuit as a function of a power threshold. A method for charging an electric aircraft is also provided.
