How Many Kilowatts for Electric Vehicle Charging?

[McElliot]

Currently, charging is mostly done through charging stations, which are divided into two main categories: AC (alternating current) stations and DC (direct current) stations. Generally, AC stations have a power of 7KW and use 220V single-phase power. DC stations offer multiple power levels, such as 30KW, 60KW, 100KW, 150KW, and 200KW. The actual charging power is determined by the matching result between the electric vehicle's battery parameters and the charging station, and it varies with the charging status. Below is relevant information: Charging Power: Charging power usually refers to the charging power of the transmission line, also known as reactive power. When the line is too long, there will be capacitance to the ground. The reactive power generated by the line's capacitance current to the ground is called the line's charging power. Range: Range is a core indicator of electric vehicles. To increase the range, engineers have come up with various methods, such as reducing weight and minimizing air resistance. However, these methods are just icing on the cake. The fundamental way to make electric vehicles travel farther is still to increase battery capacity.
