What are EV Chargers?
Electrical Vehicle (EV) Chargers are devices that supply electricity to recharge EV’s batteries. There are various types of EV chargers based on the charging speed and the EV model it is charging. Level 1 chargers use AC electricity and have the slowest charging speed, which makes them suitable for batteries with a smaller capacity, and are used for overnight charging at home. Level 2 chargers also use AC electricity, but are faster than level 1, with a level 2 charger fully charging an EV within hours. They are commonly used in residential buildings, workplaces, and are suitable for daily charging needs. Level 3 chargers, also known as Fast Chargers, use DC electricity and are the fastest charging type. A DC Fast Charger can recharge an EV to 80% its capacity in 30 minutes, which makes them ideal for quick charging stops. They are typically installed at public charging stations, especially around highways, urban areas, and major travel routes.
Why use EV Chargers?
With the growing demand in the use of Electric Vehicles, demand for EV chargers has also increased as a necessary infrastructure in the transition towards EVs. EV chargers provide convenient charging capability to users, especially if installed at home, the workplace, or public locations, with peace of mind for the user about the range left in his EV. Charging an EV is also often cheaper than refueling a gasoline-power vehicle, as electricity rates are cheaper, and gasoline prices are rising worldwide.
Transitioning from gasoline-powered vehicles towards EVs is not only cost-effective, but also more environmentally beneficial as we do not directly use fossil fuels to power our vehicle, but rather electricity, and can have no negative impact if the energy powering the EV was provided from renewable, clean, and sustainable energy sources. This helps reduce the reliance on fossil fuels, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions, air pollutions, and mitigates the effects of climate change. EVs are also more energy efficient than conventional gasoline powered vehicles, with an EV motor requires lower energy consumption per kilometer compared to a conventional vehicle. EV chargers thus help in this transition, by preparing an infrastructure of charging networks to help in the widespread adoption of electric vehicles.
