Time to charge

There are many charger types and options so getting the right solution is critical.
Alternating Current or AC chargers are the most popular option for workplaces and organisations that require flexibility and control over their charging infrastructure.
​​
  • Typically range from 7.4kW - 43kW 
  • AC chargers rely on the cars in-built converter to convert the charge to DC so charging times vary depending on the vehicle's ability to utilise the power
  • AC chargers require less power and are more economical than DC versions
  • Best suited to fleets and vehicles that are parked for periods of more than 30mins

AC

Direct Current or DC chargers are the most powerful solutions that enable rapid and ultra-rapid charging for your fleet and commercial vehicles.
​
  • Typically range from 22kW - 350kW
  • DC chargers bypass the vehicles' onboard converter and feed power directly to the battery 
  • Some DC chargers require additional infrastructure to allow them to operate 
  • Most suited to commercial vehicles or fleets where onsite parking time is limited or where a quick turnaround is required.
