Electric vehicles (EVs) have reshaped the transportation sector, drastically cutting carbon emissions and clearing the way for significant climate progress. Electric vehicles can be charged through either alternating current or direct current power. AC charging relies on a converter that is built inside the car and is usually called an “onboard charger”. This converter is used to convert power from AC to DC and then feed it into the car’s battery. AC chargers are common in the EV ecosystem as they are comparatively less expensive to produce, install, and operate. Due to these lower costs, charging at AC charging stations is usually much cheaper, making them more popular for general day-to-day charging. |
