An EV (Electric Vehicle) charger is a device that provides power through electricity to an electric vehicle's battery. There are various types of EV chargers, including Level 1, Level 2, and DC fast chargers.
Level 1 chargers have a 120-volt outlet and can take up to 24 hours to charge your electric vehicle. Level 2 chargers utilize a 240-volt outlet and can charge an electric vehicle in four-8 hours. DC fast chargers are the most powerful of the three types and can charge an electric vehicle to 80% in approximately 30 minutes.
The charger is connected to an AC (alternating current) power source and converts the AC power into DC (direct current) power that can be used to charge the vehicle's batteries. When an electric vehicle is plugged into a charger, the charger communicates with the vehicle's battery management system to determine the current charge and the maximum charging rate it can accept.
The charger then supplies the appropriate amount of current and voltage to the battery until it is fully charged or until the vehicle's battery management system stops the charging process to protect the battery from overcharging.
