EV CHARGING WAYS
Image from evbox.com
• AC for the Grid and DC for the Battery
• AC charging – onboard charger helps in DC
conversion.
• DC allows high power & ultra-fast charging
• AC charging is almost flat/constant rate
• DC charging follows a degrading curve and
requires precision control electronics.

Editor's Notes

  • #20 Additionally, charging stations are often located in high-traffic areas. Long charging time. Charging owners must serve more customers to benefit from the infra.
