Some AC chargers support dual connectors (Type 2 + GB/T) for wider compatibility
Always check the on-board charger (OBC) of the EV to ensure charging compatibility
AC EV CHARGER CHARGING SPEED
AC EV chargers, also known as Level 1 or Level 2 chargers, deliver alternating current (AC) to the EV’s on-board charger (OBC), which then converts it to DC to charge the battery. The charging speed depends on several factors:
🔧 Factors Affecting Charging Speed:
Power output of the AC charger (in kW)
Maximum AC input supported by the EV’s OBC (e.g., 3.5kW, 7kW, 11kW, 22kW,44kw)
Voltage and current of the power supply (single-phase vs. three-phase)
Battery capacity and state of charge
| Charger Type | Voltage | Power (kW) | Typical Charging Speed | Time to Full Charge |
|---|
| Level 1 (Mode 2) | 110–120V | 1.4 – 2 kW | ~5–8 km/hour (3–5 mi/hour) | 8–20 hours (small battery) |
| Level 2 (Mode 3) | 220–240V (1P) | 3.3 – 7.4 kW | ~15–40 km/hour (10–25 mi/hour) | 4–8 hours (typical EV) |
| Level 2 (3P) | 380–415V (3P) | 11 – 22 kW | ~50–120 km/hour (30–75 mi/hour) | 2–4 hours (mid-to-large battery) |
