Electric vehicle charging stations
Alternating Current (AC)
AC chargers are small in size and much more economical than DC chargers. They are mainly used in homes, office buildings, hotels. There are single-phase and three-phase. Some models are available with a built-in cable, while some others can each use their own cable. Also, there are chargers with Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity to manage the charger from smart devices (smartphone, tablet) either locally or remotely. The charger may incorporate an RFID card reader for access control.
Direct Current (DC)
DC charging is mainly preferred in SEAs, petrol stations and parking lots. It is an ideal solution when long distances are covered and it is necessary to recharge the vehicle in a short period of time. In this case, rapid charging can be achieved within 15-30 minutes. Most DC chargers have built-in equipment required for controlled access, energy metering, charging and remote management.
