Answers to common questions about EV charging infrastructure, our hardware, software, and deployment process.
What is the difference between AC and DC charging?
AC (alternating current) charging delivers electricity to the vehicle's onboard charger, which then converts it to DC to charge the battery. AC charging is slower — typically 7 to 19 kW — and is well suited for homes, workplaces, and overnight depot charging. DC (direct current) charging bypasses the vehicle's onboard charger and delivers power directly to the battery, allowing for much faster charging speeds — typically 40 kW to 480 kW or more. DC fast charging is used for public stations, fleet depots, and any application where charging time matters.
