What is the difference between fast and slow charging for electric vehicles?
1 Answers
Introduction to the differences between fast and slow charging for electric vehicles: Charging time: Fast charging uses high-power DC charging, which can charge the battery to 80% capacity in half an hour, while slow charging uses AC charging, taking 6 to 8 hours to complete the charging process. The charging speed of an electric vehicle is closely related to the charger's power, battery charging characteristics, and temperature. Impact on the battery: Fast charging can cause some damage to the battery, whereas slow charging is better for battery longevity. If possible, it is advisable to avoid fast charging. Charging mode: Fast charging directly connects to the vehicle's battery without going through the onboard charger, while slow charging requires conversion via the charger.
