Going electric can also save you money since EVs generally required less maintenance and electricity is cheaper than gas.

With home EV charging from EnergiSpot, charging your EV is as convenient as plugging in your phone. Just plug in your EV every evening and start every day with a full battery.

Question 8

What is the difference between AC and DC charging for EVs?

Accepted Answer

There are two types of electrical current that can be used to charge an electric vehicle (EV):
Alternating current (AC), which is how power comes from the grid
Direct current (DC), which is how the battery in your EV stores energy

The main difference between AC and DC charging is where the conversion from AC to DC occurs and how that affects the time required to charge your EV.

When you use an AC charger, the conversion from AC to DC happens within your EV.

When you use a DC charging station, the conversion from AC to DC happens within the charging station. This allows DC power to flow directly from the station into the EV battery. As a result, DC Ultra Fast Chargers like the NRG 350 can charge an EV from 20% to 80% in less than 16 minutes, depending on your car's charging capacity and the charging station's power output.

Question 9

What is EVSE?

Accepted Answer

EVSE stands for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment, more commonly known as EV charging stations or EV chargers. EVSE provides the electrical power to recharge electric vehicles (EVs). EVSEs vary in charging speed, connector types, and power capacities.
