Alternating Current (AC) charging operates by delivering power to an electric vehicle’s onboard charger, which converts the AC power into Direct Current (DC) to charge the battery. This method is inherently slower than DC fast charging due to the limitations of the vehicle’s onboard charger, which dictates the maximum charging rate. AC chargers are commonly used in residential setups, workplaces, and public locations because they are cost-effective and ideal for regular, overnight, or long-duration charging. Charging rates typically range from 7.2kW for single-phase systems to 22kW for three-phase systems, depending on the available power supply and infrastructure. These systems are well-suited for situations where vehicles remain parked for extended periods, ensuring steady, reliable charging that protects battery health.
