Чим краще заряджати електромобіль

So far, we have discussed AC 230-400V charging, but DC charging has the advantage of charging at high voltages up to 1000V with a current draw of 150-400A. Unlike the previous approach, charging is no longer done via the vehicle’s charge controller, but through a functionally different charge controller. These are large, expensive, and complex devices and are, therefore, not found in households, only and exclusively at community charging points. They are most often found next to motorways and petrol stations. With DC rapid charging, you can never use your own cable, it is always attached to the charging port. The cables are heavy, robust, and thick because of the high current. Unfortunately, not all cars support this charging feature. Most of the time, it is an optional choice, not included in the basic models. This solution also has some disadvantages: the high current consumption can significantly accelerate the degradation of the batteries, reducing their capacity faster than normal. They are best used on long journeys to protect your vehicle. Charging time is only 20-40 minutes, up to 80% charge. Due to the nature of the batteries in use today, the last 20% takes about the same amount of time because the cells cannot charge as fast. The last 20% is mainly spent balancing the cells.
