AC EV Charger, DC EV Charger, and Super EV Charger, which one is better?

01

"AC EV Charger" usually refers to the process of charging an electric vehicle using a lower-power AC power source. It is installed outside the electric vehicle and connected to the AC power grid. During use, the AC power of the power grid is converted into DC power through the on-board charger (AC/DC converter) in the electric vehicle, and then input into the slow charging port of the electric vehicle to charge the battery. It takes 6 to 8 hours for general models to fully charge the battery.

AC EV Charger usually uses a smaller current, which helps reduce heat loss and aging of the battery, thereby extending the battery life. Since the power of AC EV Charger is low, they have a smaller load on the power grid and are not easy to cause power grid overload. AC EV Charger usually use household or commercial, which helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels and promote sustainable development. From the perspective of usage, AC EV Charger is more suitable for long-term parking occasions such as homes or parking lots, and is used to continuously and stably charge the battery.

02

DC EV Charger store direct current directly into the battery. DC EV Charger station are very suitable for situations where fast charging is needed to continue long-distance travel, allowing drivers to continue driving after a short break. Fast charging can quickly increase the range of electric vehicles, which is very important for drivers who need to quickly replenish electricity. The popularity of DC EV Charger stations will help solve the "range anxiety" problem of electric vehicles, thereby promoting the widespread acceptance and use of electric vehicles. From the perspective of usage, DC EV Charger station is more suitable for use in places where fast charging is required, such as highway service areas and commercial areas, to meet users' needs for fast charging.

03

Supercharger is an upgrade of fast charging technology that uses higher charging power. Supercharger charging piles can charge an electric vehicle with enough electricity in a short period of time (for example, 15-30 minutes) to significantly increase its cruising range, making it ideal for long-distance driving and fast charging needs. Supercharger charging piles are usually connected to intelligent networks, allowing remote monitoring, fault diagnosis and maintenance, improving the reliability and efficiency of charging stations.

To cope with the heat generated by high-power charging, supercharging charging stations are equipped with advanced cooling systems to protect batteries and charging equipment. The development of supercharging charging piles has promoted innovation in battery technology and charging technology, laying the foundation for fast charging of electric vehicles in the future. Supercharger is more suitable for specific scenarios that require quick recharge and have strict requirements on charging time, such as highway service areas, shopping malls and urban areas.

While supercharging chargers offer many advantages, they also come with some challenges, such as high construction and maintenance costs, high demands on the grid, and possible effects on long-term battery health.

At present, all of Champion Charging's "super charging" products support a 1000V high-voltage platform, with a maximum host power of 960kW, a rated current of 600A and a maximum current output of 800A, easily achieving the energy replenishment effect of "charging for 3 minutes and a range of 400 miles".

With the advancement of technology

Under normal circumstances, there is no need to worry about the impact of charging on the battery

Just follow the principle of "shallow charging and shallow discharging"

Avoid "overcharging and overdischarging"
