AC Charger

An AC EV charger, or Alternating Current Electric Vehicle Charger, is a device designed to supply electricity to charge electric vehicles (EVs) using alternating current (AC). These chargers are commonly found in residential, commercial, and public charging stations.

These chargers use a standard household 120-volt AC outlet and provide a slow charging rate. They are typically used for overnight charging and are suitable for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) and some small battery EVs.

Level 2 AC EV chargers typically operate on a 240-volt alternating current (AC) power supply. They offer faster charging speeds than Level 1 chargers, which use a standard 120-volt household outlet. The power output of Level 2 chargers can vary, ranging from around 3.3 kW to 22 kW or more, depending on the charger's design and specifications.

Level 2 chargers use a 240-volt AC power source and offer a faster charging rate compared to Level 1 chargers. They are commonly installed in homes, workplaces, and public charging stations.

Some Level 2 chargers are equipped with smart functionality, allowing users to monitor and control the charger remotely via smartphone apps or web interfaces.Users can schedule charging sessions to take advantage of off-peak electricity rates or to ensure the vehicle is fully charged when needed.Some chargers can distribute available power among multiple charging stations to avoid overloading the electrical circuit.
