How an EV Charger Works

Electricity Source:
- - EV chargers connect to an electrical outlet or grid supply. Depending on the type of charger, they may use standard household electricity (Level 1), a dedicated circuit (Level 2), or high-voltage direct current (DC Fast Chargers).
Charging Process:
- - Connect the EV: The user plugs the EV charging cable into the vehicle’s charging port.
  - Communication: Once connected, the charger and vehicle communicate through the charging cable. This communication ensures that the charger provides the correct voltage and current for the vehicle’s battery.
  - Power Transfer: The charger converts AC (alternating current) from the electrical grid to DC (direct current) for the vehicle’s battery (in the case of Level 1 and Level 2 chargers) or provides DC power directly (for DC Fast Chargers).
  - Battery Management: The vehicle’s onboard battery management system monitors the charging process, ensuring safe charging by managing voltage, current, and temperature.
