The difference between AC charging pile and DC charging pile

Jul 25, 2023

In terms of charging time, it takes about 1.5 to 3 hours to charge a full power battery at a DC charging station, and 8 to 10 hours to fully charge a full charge at an AC charging station.

In terms of on-board chargers, AC charging stations charge power batteries, which need to be charged with the on-board charger equipped on the car, and DC charging stations can be charged directly is also the biggest difference from DC charging.
In terms of price, AC charging piles are cheaper than DC charging piles.

In terms of technology, DC piles can more effectively realize group management and group control, flexible charging, optimize investment and yield through technical means such as charging piles, and AC piles are tricky in many cases and the heart is weak.

In terms of society, because DC piles have greater technical demand for capacitors, so when investing in the construction of DC piles as the main charging station, it is necessary to increase power capacity, there are more safety problems, in terms of site detection and safety management, DC pile groups are often more complex and strict, AC piles are more flexible, many cities and real estate allow AC piles to be installed in underground garages, and are willing to build DC piles in underground parking lots are very few, mainly for safety considerations.

In terms of application, DC piles are suitable for operational charging services such as electric buses, electric leasing, electric logistics, electric cars, and electric network car reservations, but due to the high charging rate, it is easier for the operating enterprises of the service to estimate investment costs. In the long run, private electric vehicle users will be the main force, and private private AC piles will have more room for growth.
