Electric vehicle supply equipment; generically knows as EV Charger or Charging Station is the hardware that delivers energy, from an electricity source, to charge an EV battery. It is also referred to as the charging point and sits outside of the car, or as part of a charging cable. The charger in the car converts power entering the car from AC to DC. Faster charging hardware that use DC power do not require an internal charger as the power is directly fed into the EV battery without requiring conversion.
More than 50 manufacturers provide electric car chargers or charging stations also known as AC wall-boxes suitable for EV charging at home, and charging at work can be a convenient way to recharge an EV whilst parked during the day.
While many EV drivers in Australia charge cars at home or even charge at work, DC public charging stations as a part of a national network, also provide invaluable car charging support plus the opportunity to extend journey distances. Most networks in Australia offer a mix of slow, fast and superfast highway charging options.
