As an EV charging solutions provider, Enernova offers a full range of AC and DC charging stations.. For our global customers, understanding the key differences between these two technologies is the first step in selecting the right product for your market.
Key Technology Differences
The core difference lies in where the conversion from grid alternating current (AC) to battery direct current (DC) occurs.
AC chargers: AC power is supplied from the grid. Conversion to DC occurs within the electric vehicle using its built-in onboard charger. The vehicle itself limits charging speed.
DC chargers: Grid AC power is converted to DC within the charging station. They then deliver the DC power directly to the vehicle battery, bypassing the onboard charger for faster charging.
Enernova AC EV Chargers: Everyday Solutions
Our Enernova AC series (e.g., 7kW, 11kW, and 22kW models) are designed for destination charging, ideal for situations where the vehicle is parked for extended periods.
Typical Use Cases
Residential Complexes: Installations in apartment building parking lots for residents. Workplace Charging: For employees to charge their vehicles during the workday.
Commercial Parking: In shopping malls, hotels, and restaurants to attract and retain customers.
Product Highlights:
Wide Compatibility: Compatible with all electric vehicles on the market.
Easier Installation: Lower power requirements generally simplify installation.
Proven Technology: A standard solution for everyday charging needs.
Enernova DC EV Chargers: Fast Charging Solutions
Our Enernova DC series (e.g., 60kW, 180kW, and 240kW models) are designed for situations where fast charging is required.
Typical Use Cases:
Public Charging Stations: For fast charging along highways, in city centers, or at gas stations.
Commercial Fleet: For taxi companies, delivery services, or logistics fleets requiring fast turnaround.
High-Volume Retail: For convenience stores where fast charging is a key customer benefit.
Product Highlights:
Fast Charging: Typically charges an electric vehicle from 20% to 80% in 20-40 minutes, depending on the model and vehicle. High Power Output: Delivers high-power DC power directly to compatible vehicles.
Future-Proof: Meets the growing demand for fast public charging infrastructure.
