How to Charge a Electric Car in DC Fast Charging Station
While most electric vehicles (EVs) are charged at home overnight or at work during the day, DC Fast Charging, as it is often called, can charge an EV to 80% in as little as 20-30 minutes. So, how does DC Fast Charging apply to EV drivers?
Level 3 fast charging operates between 400 – 1000V AC, supplying 50kW and above. it generally only available in public locations, can typically charge a vehicle to 80% in approximately 20-30 minutes.
Once the vehicle's battery is charged to 80%, the charge rate slows down to prevent damage to the battery and because of this, it is recommended to only use DC fast charging to reach 80% and then continue your trip.
Fast charging is a general term and not all charging speeds are the same. Charging speed depends on the specific battery capacity of the car, the strength of the charging station, and the communication between the car and the charging station.
Currently, for DC fast charging, it has CCS Combo, CHAdeMo interface, we need to know our car compatiable station then charge them quickly.
