Choosing between AC and DC charging piles for home charging piles requires comprehensive consideration of charging needs, installation conditions, cost budgets and usage scenarios and other factors. Here’s a breakdown:
1. Charging speed
- AC charging piles: The power is usually between 3.5kW and 22kW, and the charging speed is relatively slow, suitable for long-term parking and charging, such as night charging.
- DC charging piles: The power is usually between 20kW and 350kW, or even higher, and the charging speed is fast, which can replenish a large amount of power to the vehicle in a short period of time.
- Split DC Charging Pile(Liquid Cooling EV Charger):The power is usually between 240kW and 960kW, Combined with liquid cooling high-voltage charging platform, fast charging of large new energy vehicles, such as mine trucks, trucks, buses, and ships
2. Installation conditions
- AC EV charging station: The installation is relatively simple, usually only needs to be connected to 220V power supply, low requirements for home grid, suitable for homes, communities and other places.
- DC EV charging station: Requires access to 380V power supply, complex installation, high requirements for the power grid, suitable for scenarios with high charging speed requirements.
3. Cost budget
- AC EV Charger: Low equipment costs and installation costs, suitable for home users with limited budgets.
- DC EV Charger: high equipment costs, installation and maintenance costs.
4. Usage scenarios
- AC electric car charger: suitable for long-term parking places such as homes, communities, shopping malls, etc., users can charge at night or while parking.
- DC electric car charger: suitable for highway service areas, large shopping malls, and other scenarios that require rapid power replenishment.
5. Impact on the battery
- AC electric vehicle charging station: The charging process is gentle, with little impact on battery life.
- DC electric vehicle charging station: High-current charging may accelerate battery aging.
6. Future trends
- AC charging piles: With technological advancements, AC charging piles are also being upgraded, and some models support 7kW AC fast charging.
- DC charging piles: In the future, public charging stations may be dominated by DC piles, and home scenarios will be dominated by AC piles.
Comprehensive recommendations
Home use: If the vehicle is mainly used for daily commuting and has night charging conditions, it is recommended to choose AC charging piles.
Long-distance travel: If you often travel long distances or have high requirements for charging speed, consider installing DC charging piles.
Cost Considerations: AC charging piles are affordable and suitable for families on a budget.
Battery life: For users who value battery life, it is recommended to choose AC charging piles.
