What is the voltage for electric vehicle charging?
1 Answers
Electric vehicle charging voltages are as follows: small commuter vehicles typically operate at 48V, 60V, or 72V; passenger vehicles range between 200V to 360V, depending on the model and battery type. When using an AC charging station, the input voltage is 220V. For DC fast charging stations, the input is 380V AC, but the output delivers DC power ranging from 200V to 700V. Electric vehicle batteries are broadly categorized into two types: storage batteries and fuel cells. Storage batteries, suitable for pure electric vehicles, include lead-acid batteries, nickel-based batteries, sodium-sulfur batteries, secondary lithium batteries, and air batteries.
