What are the differences between DC and AC charging piles?
1 Answers
DC charging piles and AC charging piles differ in charging methods and charging speeds. DC charging pile: DC electric vehicle charging stations, commonly known as "fast charging", are fixedly installed outside electric vehicles and connected to the AC grid. They can provide DC power supply for non-vehicle electric vehicle power batteries. AC charging pile: AC electric vehicle charging piles, commonly known as "slow charging", are fixedly installed outside electric vehicles and connected to the AC grid. They provide AC power supply for the vehicle's onboard charger (i.e., the charger fixedly installed on the electric vehicle).
