Types of Batteries used in Electric Vehicles & their Parameters

To decrease the carbon footprint to creating a better environment government around the world are encouraging people to buy electronic vehicles (EV). Subsidies are being offered to the buyers by the governments. Popular car and other vehicle companies are also launching electronic vehicles. But for many who are considering buying an electronic vehicle or already bought one, a question often that is asked or plagues are at an EV charging station which charging should one use AC or DC. Also, another question that remains is to decide when to use AC and DC charging. Before we delve into these two important questions let’s have a brief discussion between AC and DC electricity and how the charging differs between them.

What Is The Difference Between AC and DC Charging?

The word AC is an acronym for Alternating Current while DC stands for Direct Current. Some basic differences between AC and DC charging:

AC Charging:

1. For electronic vehicles, it is used for charging at different speeds.
2. It is available on the power grid
3. Transmitted economically across long distances
4. The car converts AC to DC.

Any portable electronic devices, be it an electronic car or a mobile phone the electricity is required to be converted from AC to DC. For electronic cars, the conversion takes place inside the car with the converter that is within it.
