AC stations, i.e. alternating current charging stations, are often referred to as “slower chargers” – they are a popular solution for homes and stations in companies, although they can also be found on Polish roads. AC stations are slower, with an average battery charge time of 1 to several hours. However, AC stations are much cheaper, easier to install – that’s why they are often chosen by private individuals. DC stations, or “fast chargers” using direct current. Such devices have very high charging power and require specialized equipment, which makes them unsuitable for home installations. DC stations are much faster – a full charge of an electric car counts here in minutes, not hours. For this reason, they are often installed as public stations and stations for the own use of companies with their own fleets of electric vehicles.
