DC CHARGING</h2><p>When discussing electric vehicle charging, it’s essential to understand the two types of electrical current used: alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). Both currents play a crucial role in <a href="https://www.power-sonic.com/blog/how-long-to-charge-an-ev/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">how long it takes to charge an EV</a> and battery management in electric vehicles’ charging process.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Alternating Current (AC)</h3><p>The electricity that comes from the grid and powers the outlets in your home or office is always AC. This electrical current is named after the way it flows, changing direction periodically. AC electricity can be transported over long distances efficiently, making it the global standard for power distribution. Level 2 EV charging inputs and outputs power in AC.</p><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Direct Current (DC)</h3><p>In contrast, batteries in EVs store direct current, named after its straight-line power flow. DC electricity is used within the power circuitry of electronic devices, powering them directly. When an electric vehicle is plugged into a Level 2 EV charging station, it receives AC power, which is then converted to DC electricity for use within the car by its onboard converter. </p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" width="1024" height="658" src="https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:1024/h:658/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/AC-vs-DC.png" alt="AC vs DC " class="wp-image-29053" srcset="https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:1024/h:658/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/AC-vs-DC.png 1024w, https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:300/h:193/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/AC-vs-DC.png 300w, https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:768/h:494/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/AC-vs-DC.png 768w, https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:1536/h:987/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/AC-vs-DC.png 1536w, https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:600/h:386/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/AC-vs-DC.png 600w, https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:auto/h:auto/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/AC-vs-DC.png 1556w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure><h3 class="wp-block-heading">AC and DC Charging for Electric Vehicles</h3><p>Electric vehicles undergo a power conversion process when charging with a Level 2 EV charger. The AC power supplied by the L2 charger is converted into DC electricity by the vehicle’s onboard converter before being stored in the battery. This DC power is then used to operate the vehicle.</p><p>Level 1 and Level 2 charging stations utilize AC power, which is converted to DC power by the vehicle’s onboard converter during the charging process. In contrast, Level 3 charging, also known as DC fast charging, directly supplies the battery with DC power. This is possible because the conversion from AC to DC occurs within the charging station, bypassing the vehicle’s onboard converter. This enables Level 3 chargers to deliver power quicker than Level 2.</p><p>By understanding the roles of AC and DC electricity in electric vehicle charging, you’ll better grasp the charging process and how the <a href="https://www.power-sonic.com/blog/levels-of-ev-charging/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">different levels of EV chargers</a> operate to provide power to your vehicle.</p><figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img data-opt-src="https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:1024/h:627/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Difference-between-AC-and-DC-fast-charging.png" decoding="async" width="1024" height="627" src="https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:1024/h:627/q:eco/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Difference-between-AC-and-DC-fast-charging.png" alt="Difference between AC and DC fast charging" class="wp-image-27049" /><noscript><img decoding="async" width="1024" height="627" src="https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:1024/h:627/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Difference-between-AC-and-DC-fast-charging.png" alt="Difference between AC and DC fast charging" class="wp-image-27049" srcset="https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:1024/h:627/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Difference-between-AC-and-DC-fast-charging.png 1024w, https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:300/h:184/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Difference-between-AC-and-DC-fast-charging.png 300w, https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:768/h:471/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Difference-between-AC-and-DC-fast-charging.png 768w, https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:1536/h:941/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Difference-between-AC-and-DC-fast-charging.png 1536w, https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:600/h:368/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Difference-between-AC-and-DC-fast-charging.png 600w, https://mlawo68xej2x.i.optimole.com/cb:LjSm.f332/w:auto/h:auto/q:mauto/f:best/ig:avif/https://www.power-sonic.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Difference-between-AC-and-DC-fast-charging.png 1836w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></noscript></figure><p>The charging curves between AC and DC electric vehicle charging differ. With Level 2 EV charging (AC), the power delivery is steady as the onboard converter can only accept a relatively small amount of power at a time. This differs from DC fast charging, which delivers a high peak of power at the start before it slowly tapers down in power delivery as the battery slowly requests less power through the battery management system.

They are easy to use and always ready for charging (when available). However, compatibility with all EVs depends on the connector type. <a href="https://www.power-sonic.com/evac-i-series/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Tethered Level 2 chargers</a> are popular in North America.</p><h4 class="wp-block-heading">Benefits of tethered EV chargers</h4><ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Convenience and ease of use – tethered chargers offer a hassle-free charging experience, as the charging cable and connector are always available and ready to use, eliminating the need to connect and disconnect charging cables manually. Ideal if you have forgotten your charging cable.</li> <li>Price transparency – the tethered EV charging cable is included in the overall price of the EV charger, so there is no need to buy separate charging cables to use it.</li></ul><h4 class="wp-block-heading">Things to consider with tethered EV chargers</h4><ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Limited by length – you will be limited by the size of the EV charging cable supplied by the manufacturer. If a longer charging cable is needed, this will be at an additional cost and usually must be specified at the point of order.</li> <li>More significant in size – having the attached cable will mean that the overall space required may need to be larger to accommodate the management of the charging cable. Additional cable management may need to be purchased in addition to the charger to keep the charging cables neat and tidy.</li> <li>Theft of cables – <a href="https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-10530305/Now-thieves-new-target-electric-cars-charger-cable.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">incidents of tethered charging cables being cut by criminals for their scrap value</a>.</li> <li>Wear and tear – tethered cables are subject to wear and tear and may need to be replaced in the future.</li></ul><h3 class="wp-block-heading">Untethered EV Chargers</h3><p>Untethered EV chargers do not have a permanently attached charging cable or connector. Instead, users must supply their own charging cable, which can be connected and disconnected via a socket in the EV charger. Untethered Level 2 chargers are popular throughout Europe.</p><h4 class="wp-block-heading">Benefits of untethered EV chargers</h4><ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Easier to maintain – untethered chargers are smaller and tidier as they do not include the charging cable. Without the charging cable attached, there are fewer elements to maintain and potentially need replacing in the future.</li> <li>Less expensive – as they do not include a charger cable, an untethered EV charger is generally less expensive to buy than its tethered equivalent.</li> <li>Less restricted – if you need a longer charging cable, you can buy one without replacing the whole charger. As charging technology develops, it also allows for the use of upgraded charging cables in the future.</li></ul><h4 class="wp-block-heading">Things to consider with untethered EV chargers</h4><ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Less convenient – you have to physically attach the charging cable before charging and detach it once charging has finished, an extra step that isn’t needed for a tethered version.</li> <li>Not for everyone – if someone hasn’t got their charging cable or has forgotten it, they can not use the EV charger.</li></ul><h2 class="wp-block-heading">LEVEL 2 CHARGING CONNECTORS AND PLUGS</h2><p>Different <a href="https://www.power-sonic.com/blog/ev-charging-connector-types/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">EV charging connectors and plug types</a> are used in various regions across the globe.
