The kW output of DC fast charging stations varies depending on multiple factors including location, make, and model.
Broadly speaking, there are two different kinds of DC fast charging stations: standalone, and split.
Standalone: comprised of a single unit, standalone charging stations can usually deliver between 50 kW and 250 kW of power.
Split: charging stations with split architecture come with two main components—a user unit and a power unit—and usually deliver between 175 kW and 350 kW.
Unlike AC chargers, a DC charger has the converter inside the charger itself. That means it can feed power directly to the car's battery and doesn't need the onboard charger to convert it.
EV fast and ultra-fast charging stations charge an electric vehicle’s battery directly, reducing charging time, and accelerating the energy transition.
