Product type
AC EV chargers are devices designed to charge electric vehicles (EVs) using alternating current (AC) electricity. These chargers convert the AC power from the electrical grid into a form that can be stored in the vehicle's battery. Typically, they consist of a charging unit, a connector, and safety features to protect both the vehicle and the electrical system. AC chargers are commonly used in residential, commercial, and public charging stations.
| Charging power | 3.7 kW to 22 kW |
| Input voltage | 230V to 400V AC |
| Connector types | Type 1, Type 2, and CCS |
| Installation type | Wall-mounted or pedestal |
| Weather resistance | IP54 to IP65 rating |
When choosing an AC EV charger, consider the charging power required for your vehicle and the installation location. Specify the connector type compatible with your EV, and check for any necessary electrical upgrades in your facility. Additionally, inquire about weather resistance ratings if the charger will be installed outdoors. Certifications and compliance with local electrical codes are also important factors to discuss when requesting a quote.
