Electric vehicle charging stations

TYPES OF EV CHARGERS

There are two types of EV chargers: AC and DC

AC chargers are compact devices and represent an affordable solution. They are commonly used for home charging applications or commercial buildings.
On the other hand, DC chargers support higher power charging, fast charging and are usually used in public places. They are an ideal solution for long distances.

Alternating Current (AC)

AC chargers are compact devices and represent a more affordable solution. They are mainly used for home charging applications, office buildings and hotels. AC chargers are available in single-phase and three-phase models. Some models come with integrated cable and others allow users to connect their own charging cables. Also, some chargers support Wifi and Bluetooth connectivity and are managed by smart devices (smartphone, tablet) either locally or remotely. In some models, an RFID card reader is embedded and allows access control.

Direct Current (DC)

DC charging is primarily preferred at MSS (Motorist Service Stations), filling stations and parking areas. When a car needs to be recharged quickly after travelling great distances, this is the perfect solution. DC chargers enable fast charging within 15 to 30 minutes. Most DC chargers come with the necessary equipment for controlled access, remote administration, energy measurement, billing, and remote management.
