Is the EV charger AC or DC?

There are two kinds of “fuels” that can be used in electric vehicles, called AC and DC power supplies. The power supply from the grid is AC, and the battery, like the battery in an electric vehicle, stores power in the form of DC.

alternating current

For electric vehicles, the converter is built into the vehicle. It is called a “car charger”, although it is indeed a converter. It converts the power supply from AC to DC and feeds it into the car battery. This is the most common charging method for electric vehicles today. Most chargers use AC power.

Direct current

The difference between AC and DC is the location of AC conversion, inside or outside the vehicle. The DC charger has a converter inside the charger itself, which can directly supply power to the car battery without the conversion of the car charger. For electric vehicles, the DC charger is larger and faster, which is a breakthrough.
