- AC (alternating current): AC charging uses alternating current (AC) to charge the electric vehicle. Typically, it is slower charging compared to DC charging. Typically, you'll reach speeds of up to 11 kW or even 22 kW with AC charging. This can vary greatly depending on the country and location of the charging station.
- DC (direct current): DC charging uses direct current (DC) to charge electric vehicles faster. Charging with DC has a significant advantage over charging with AC, as the battery can store direct current directly without the current having to be converted by your car first. This allows you to achieve much higher charging speeds - typically up to 50 kW.
-HPC (high-power charging): HPC charging is a special form of DC charging that can reach very high charging power. HPC charging stations power often exceeds 150 kW and can reach up to 350 kW or more.
