Question 3

What is the difference between AC charging and DC ultra-fast charging?

Accepted Answer

AC chargers (3.3kW to 22kW) supply alternating current that must be converted by the vehicle onboard charger, taking 4 to 12 hours for a full charge. DC ultra-fast chargers (120kW to 480kW) supply direct current straight to the battery pack, bypassing vehicle bottlenecks and providing 10% to 80% charge in just 15 to 25 minutes.

How long does it take to charge an electric car at EasyCharge?

Accepted Answer

With our 200kW to 480kW ultra-fast DC dispensers, a typical passenger EV adds approximately 250 km of highway range in under 15 minutes. Exact speeds depend on your vehicle peak DC charging acceptance rate and battery state-of-charge.

Question 5

Is DC fast charging safe for my EV battery health?
