When comparing AC (Alternating Current) and DC (Direct Current) chargers, it's essential to understand their fundamental differences and how they affect the charging process. Here’s a detailed comparison:
| EV Charger Type | AC | DC |
| Name | Level 1 or level 2 | Level 3 |
| Charging Type | Slow charging | Fast charging |
| Charging Power | 7kW~22kW | 20kW~360kW |
| Input Voltage | 1 phase 220V±15% | 3 phase 380V/400V±15% 50Hz |
| Charging Time/Speed | 6~10 hour | 30mins ~1 hours |
| Charging Connector | Type 1 or Type 2 | CCS or CHAdeMO or GBT |
 | ||
| Charging model | AC charger supply power to OBC, then to the electric battery | DC Charger supply the power to the electric battery directly |
| Application | Home, Residential, Commercial… | Highway service, Parking lot, Fleet, Commercial building, Public station… |
