Introduction to EV charging

An electric vehicle charging station, also called EV charging station, electric recharging point, charging point, electronic charging station (ECS), and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), is an appliance that supplies electric energy for the charging of electric vehicles, including electric passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV).

Types of EV Chargers

AC Chargers

AC chargers are the simplest and most common type of EV charger, found in most homes and private spaces due to their low cost and straightforward installation. When an AC charger charges an electric vehicle, the electricity is converted into a DC current by the vehicle’s onboard rectifier. AC charging rates are limited by the capacity of the EV's onboard rectifier, typically between 3.7 kW to 22 kW.

DC chargers

In DC chargers, electricity is converted from AC to DC by the charging station, which can handle a much higher capacity than an EV’s onboard rectifier. DC Chargers range from 24 kW to 350 kW for superfast charging. As a result, vehicles using DC chargers will charge faster.

Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE)

An electric vehicle charging station, also called EV charging station, electric recharging point, charging point, electronic charging station (ECS), and electric vehicle supply equipment (EVSE), is an appliance that supplies electric energy for the recharging of plug-in electric vehicles—including electric passenger cars, carts and utility vehicles, and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV).
