FAQ
Questions About
Homes - AC EV Chargers
AC chargers are primarily used for home charging — the everyday way to charge an EV overnight or whenever the vehicle is parked. They also suit workplaces and offices.
How long does AC charging take?
Charging time depends on the vehicle's battery capacity, its charging capability and the charger's power output. It should not be treated as a fixed guarantee for every vehicle.
Can AC chargers be installed in apartments or offices?
Yes, subject to a site-specific electrical assessment to confirm suitability and installation requirements.
What is the difference between AC chargers and DC fast chargers?
AC chargers use the vehicle's onboard system to convert power, suited to overnight home charging. DC fast chargers supply direct current straight to the battery for a quicker top-up, typically at public stations.
