Electric vehicles are growing in popularity thanks to a wide range of benefits. But their adoption wouldn't have gotten very far without the help of DC fast charging.
The electric grid sends power to homes and businesses in the form of alternating current (AC). However, batteries don't use AC power; they use DC power, which is short for direct current.
When your electric vehicle is charged through an AC power supply, the charger in your vehicle has to convert that power to DC power before it can be stored in the battery, which limits charging speeds.
With DC fast charging, the charging station itself provides DC power, allowing you to charge directly into your battery at a much higher rate.
All the factors that go into how fast your fleet can charge can get pretty complicated. But thanks to DC fast charging, your fleet can recharge in minutes, so your team can get back to work quickly.
