AC EV Charging

Overview

With reference to the electric vehicles, the AC charging makes use of the external gadget which is the  AC charger. 

Such a charger plays an important role in covering the AC power released from the grid to the DC power. The converted power is used to charge the battery of the EV. 

How does it work?

When you make use of the AC charging technology, the battery of the EV will not be charged directly. The battery is charged with the help of the charger that is available onboard. 

The onboard charger is the main gadget that supplies the battery of the EMV. With the help of such a technology, the entire system carries weight. 

The conversion unit responsible for converting the AC into DC remains inside the vehicle. 

It is easy to maintain AC charging and as per the expert, you are paying the same price for multiple assets to charge. In case of DC changing, you may need transformer upgrades. 

The very good part of AC charging is that it is widely available. It is also less expensive when it comes to installation. But if you charge at higher power levels, the efficiency can be reduced. This is a potential disadvantage. 

With the public AC charging facility for the EMVs, it becomes user-friendly because the infrastructure is available easily. 

Features of AC charging

Some Of the features of AC charging for electric vehicles are:

• With the AC charging for EMVs, you can get the AC wall charger for the home. 
• Because of its compactness, it becomes easy to install at home. 
• Generally, the companies offer such chargers with the products. 
• Time consumption is less. For example, in the case of the Tiago EV, you are able to charge a 24kWh battery in just more than 3 hours. 

Applications in electric vehicles

• AC charging is well-suited for home applications and EVs. These are less bulky and the installation becomes easy.
• You can also link such charging applications with the mobile applications in your EV. 
• AC charging systems are easily available at public charging stations, in offices, and in shopping centres. 
• You get such charging systems for all modern EVs available today including the famous  EV brand TESLA. 

Conclusion

Do you aspire to get an economical EV or an EV in the upper price range? AC charging offers many benefits.

Generally, the fast charging and the easy availability is a benefit and you are also able to charge fast in various vehicles. 

In fact, such charging has emerged as a backbone of the revolution in EVs.  Your car gets the essential energy to stay on the road and the low carbon emission is a prime advantage in the long run.
