What is the difference between AC and DC charging?
AC (Alternating Current) charging is the standard form of charging found at home and public charge points in the UK. It’s typically slower (7-22 kW) and used for overnight or workplace charging.
DC (Direct Current) charging is used for rapid and ultra-rapid charging at public stations, such as motorway service stations. DC chargers bypass the EV’s onboard converter, allowing for much faster charging speeds of around 50-350 kW.
