DC charging works with the vast majority of passenger vehicles. By default, EVs charge their batteries with direct current and this means that almost all accept DC fast charging. How much power each battery can handle, however, is another story. Some batteries can accept 350 kW whilst others can only… Read More
Read moreDC fast charging stations are ideal for commercial and public locations, meaning that you’re likely to find them at retail and hospitality locations, in commercial parking stations, fuel retailers, highway rest stops, and utility providers. To find a DC fast charger, Google Maps is a great option or you can… Read More
Read moreIt is most likely that DC fast charging does cost more than charging your electric vehicle with AC power. When you’re paying for DC charging, you’re paying extra for the convenience of charging your vehicle quickly.

Read moreWhilst almost all passenger vehicles can use DC fast charging, the process of charging itself may require a different connector than the one your vehicle uses with AC charging. Looking at the European level, there are two standards for DC charging connectors—CCS and CHAdeMO—as well as Tesla’s signature Supercharger which… Read More
Read moreThere are a number of factors which affect an EV’s charging speed with DC charging. However, because the AC/DC converter is located in the charging station itself, charging an electric vehicle with DC charging can be significantly faster than with AC charging. Different factors which affect a vehicle’s charging speed… Read More
Read moreThe kW output of DC fast charging stations varies depending on multiple factors including location, make, and model. Broadly speaking, there are two different kinds of DC fast charging stations: standalone, and split. Standalone: comprised of a single unit, standalone charging stations can usually deliver between 50 kW and 250 kW of… Read More
Read moreThere are two different types of EV charging stations: AC and DC. It’s important to keep in mind that power from the grid is always AC and EV batteries only accept DC power. That means that at some stage, the current must be converted. The difference between AC and DC… Read More
