What is EV Charger?

Electric Vehicle (EV) charging refers to the process of replenishing the energy in the battery of an electric vehicle. This is done by connecting the EV to a charging station or charger. A charging station, also known as an EV charging station or Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) supplies electricity to charge EVs. There are different types of EV chargers, including level 1 chargers, level 2 chargers, and DC fast chargers.

 

 

How Do EV Charger Work?

Your car operates by using its fuel cells to drive a motor, which then spins the wheels after it has been charged. And once charged, the range of your EV is determined by its features. While having a larger battery increases power, it also adds weight, which strains the engine. The engine, therefore, requires more power. While having a smaller battery makes the vehicle lighter, the shorter range and slow recharge make it unsuitable for long trips.

Features of EV Charger
 
 

Trickle Charge

The slowest method of charging your EV at home, using a standard (three-prong) 220V plug. It is only recommended in urgent cases, with caution and consultation with electricity providers.

 
 
 

Ac Charge

Having a wallbox installed lets you charge 3-4 faster using AC Household Charging. AC Public Charging is also available.

 
 
 

Dc Charge

The fastest way to charge your EV – at a public DC Fast charging station with power from 50kW and above. With this method you can top up your battery from 20 to 80% in approx. 40 minutes. There are also some ultra-fast charging stations that already provide more than 150kW.

 
 
How to Charge Your Electric Vehicle (EV) 
 
1. Connect

Park your vehicle and turn it off. Next, open the charging port on your vehicle. Remove the appropriate connector from the charger and plug it into your vehicle.

2. Charge

Start the charge by using one of these three methods and following on-screen prompts:
Use the appropriate mobile application for the specific fast charger.
Use a network-specific RFID card to activate the charging process. If charging doesn't start automatically, follow the prompts on the screen to begin charging.
Use the start button on the charger or touchscreen. If charging doesn't start automatically, follow the prompts on the screen to begin charging.

3. End the Charge

There are two methods you can use to end the charging session if it doesn't end automatically:
Use the appropriate mobile application for the specific fast charger.
Use the stop button on the charger or touchscreen.

4. Remove the Plug

Once you've ended the charge, the plug will unlock. Remove the plug from your car and replace it on the charger.

 

Types of EV Charger

Level 1 Charger

Level 1 charging simply refers to plugging your EV into a standard power socket. Depending on where you are in the world, a typical wall outlet only delivers a maximum of 2.3 kW, so charging via a Level 1 charger is the slowest way to charge an EV—giving only 6 to 8 kilometers of range per hour (4 to 5 miles). As there is no communication between the power outlet and the vehicle, this method is not only slow, but it can also be dangerous if handled improperly. As such, we don't recommend relying on Level 1 charging to charge your vehicle except as a last resort.

Level 2 Charger

A Level 2 charger is a dedicated charging station that you may find mounted to a wall, on a pole, or standing on the ground. Level 2 charging stations deliver alternating current (AC) and have a power output between 3.4 kW - 22 kW. They are commonly found at residential, public parking, businesses, and commercial locations and make up the majority of public EV chargers.
At the maximum output of 22 kW, an hour's charging will provide roughly 120 km (75 miles) to your battery's range. Even lower power outputs of 7.4 kW and 11 kW will charge your EV much faster than Level 1 charging, adding 40 km (25 miles) and 60 km (37 miles) of range per hour respectively.

Level 3 Charging Station (DC Fast Charger)

Also known as DC or fast charging, Level 3 charging uses direct current (DC) to charge a vehicle's battery directly, instead of the alternating current (AC) used by Level 1 and 2 charging stations. This allows Level 3 chargers to bypass an EV's slower AC/DC onboard converter and deliver DC power directly to the battery.
As a result, Level 3 charging stations can deliver much more power faster, making them ideal for short-stop locations like gas stations and fleet depots. Charging times vary between different vehicles and power outputs, however, generally speaking, Level 3 chargers can charge a vehicle in minutes versus hours for Level 2 or days for Level 1 charging stations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can any electric car use any charging station?

A: All electric vehicles can be charged at level 1 and level 2 stations. In order to utilise the station, you must also have a plug or socket that is compatible with it.

Q: How long do electric car batteries last?

A: There is no set maximum amount of time an EV battery can last. ZJBENY guarantee that an electric car battery will last between 10 and 20 years before needing to be replaced.

Q: What are the three types of EV charging systems?

A: Another key thing to know from the outset: There are three categories or types of charging: Trickle Charge, AC Charge and DC Charge. The slowest method of charging your EV at home, using a standard (three-prong) 220V plug. It is only recommended in urgent cases, with caution and consultation with electricity providers.

Q: Are EV charging stations free?

A: Fees for using EV charging stations vary. Some public chargers are free to use. Stations requiring payment usually base the fee on how much energy gets transferred to the electric car. Other rates get priced per minute.

Q: Do I need a special charger for an EV?

A: You can charge your electric car using standard 120 volt(V) home outlets (Level 1), 208-240V outlets like those used by your dryer (Level 2), or dedicated 480V+ public fast chargers (DC Fast Charging). The time it takes to charge using each of these three options depends on your drive and the size of the battery.

Q: Is it worth getting a Level 2 charger?

A: An electric vehicle, or EV, plugged into a Level 2 charger can add about 25 miles of range per hour, which is about five times faster than a Level 1 charger, and it's the most powerful EV charger you can install at a residential location. More than 3 in 4 public chargers are Level 2 chargers.

Q: Can my house handle level 2 EV charger?

A: Most EV chargers pull 30-50 amps of current. If the EV charger were the only thing on the whole panel you'd be fine either way. In reality, other appliances need amps, too. If your home has a 100-amp panel you likely need to upgrade to a 200-amp panel before using your Level 2 EV charger.

Q: Is a Level 2 charger worth it for a plug in hybrid?

A: But for faster, more convenient PHEV charging, you will want to install a Level 2 home charging station. Level 2 systems, in addition to much faster charging, are strong enough so you can run systems in your vehicle while plugged in without it hindering your charge.

Q: Should I charge my EV to 80 or 90?

A: Most of the time you should only charge an EV to 80% because charging rates slow down dramatically past the 80% mark. And two, the long-term health of your vehicle's battery pack is improved when kept below 100%.

Q: Is Level 2 charging bad for battery?

A: Level 2 AC charging is recommended to keep the battery in optimal condition. Level 2 chargers are the most efficient home charging option and are also the most common to find at free charging stations around town. Providing 240v power, it takes 6 to 14 hours to fully charge an EV, or 4 to 8 hours for a PHEV.

Q: Why are Level 3 chargers so expensive?

A: Level 3 chargers have the capability to convert alternating current from the grid to direct current (DC) for the battery to store. They're more expensive than level 2 chargers due to this internal conversion capability.

Q: Can I install a DC fast charger at home?

A: With all this information about charging levels and AC and DC currents, it's perfectly reasonable that many homeowners would want to have DC charging available at their homes to charge their EV as fast as possible. So, can you install a DC fast charger at home? Unfortunately, the answer is no.

Q: Is charging an electric car cheaper than gas?

A: A 2020 Consumer Reports study similarly showed that EV drivers tend to spend about 60 percent less each year on fuel costs compared to drivers of gas-powered cars.

Q: How to get a free EV charger?

A: Attractions: Museums, zoos, theatres, garden centres, and National Trust properties often have free EV charging points. Hotels and B&Bs: Many accommodations offer free EV charging to their guests. Car parks: Public, retail, and workplace car parks often have free EV charging points for visitors and commuters.

Q: Why are Level 2 Chargers so expensive?

A: Level 2 Chargers: These chargers use a 240-volt outlet and can charge an EV in as little as a few hours. While they are faster than Level 1 chargers, they require professional installation and can be more expensive.

Q: What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 charging?

A: Level 2 charging stations use 240V electric outlets, which means they can charge an EV much faster than Level 1 chargers due to higher energy output. An EV driver can connect to a Level 2 charger with the attached nozzle cord using the integrated J plug built into most EVs.

Q: What size breaker do I need for an electric car charger?

A: If you opt for a 32 amp EV charger, it is required to be installed on a 40 amp circuit — a common amount for a circuit to be able to carry. If you want the extra boost from a 40 amp EV charger, you will require a 50 amp circuit breaker to provide some buffer for additional appliances.

Q: Can you charge EV from wall socket?

A: You can charge using a regular domestic three-pin socket, but a dedicated home EV charger is a much better – and faster – option. Dedicated EV home chargers typically deliver around 7kW of power.

Q: What is the difference between socket and tethered EV charger?

A: Essentially, the main difference between tethered and untethered EV chargers is the charging cable. Whereas tethered chargers have a fixed cable attached that can't be removed, untethered chargers have a detachable cable.

Q: What is a Level 3 DC fast charger?

A: Level 3 charging, also known as DC fast charging, is the fastest way to charge an EV, topping up most vehicles in just minutes as opposed to hours with regular AC charging. Put simply, Level 3 charging delivers more power, faster, making it ideal for on-the-go locations like gas stations or highway rest stops.
