With more and more people considering purchasing an Electric Vehicle (EV), one of the most significant concerns is understanding when and how to charge their vehicles.
This is understandable, as most Australians have been accustomed to driving fuel-powered cars and refuelling at one of the many petrol stations available as their tank nears empty. Charging an EV requires more planning but with the increasing demand and incentives for eco-friendly transportation options, public and private EV charging stations are becoming more common.
As a result, EV owners have more options and accessibility to charging stations, making it easier to keep their vehicles charged and ready to go
By installing your own EV charger, you can enhance your EV ownership experience and with EV Charger monitoring using a home EV charger is not only more convenient but also less expensive than relying on public chargers. By installing a home charger, you will likely never have to visit a public charging point again and reduce the uncertainty of range anxiety.
Home charging is a straightforward process. After installing the EV charger, all you need to do is plug your charger to your EV's inlet and wait for the charging process to complete. Overnight charging is typically the most convenient and cost-effective option.
If you plan to park your vehicle in front of an EV charging station, there are a few factors to consider. Firstly, the charging station may be free, or it may require some form of an access device such as a key FOB, RFID Card, or an option to make payment via credit card. It's similar to other parking situations where some parking lots are free for customers while others require payment via a parking meter. The charging station's device and posted instructions should clearly indicate how to use it.
The time it takes to charge an electric vehicle (EV) using a Level 1 charger can vary depending on the battery size and the charging rate. Typically, provides around 5-8 km of range per hour of charging. So, if you have a 400-km range EV and the battery is completely depleted, it would take approximately 50-80 hours to fully charge it using a Level 1 charger.
AC fast charging ranging from 7 kW to 22 kW AC charging capability. This is a dedicated charger with its own plug or socket. This is faster than a Level 1 charger. Typically, 40 km to 100 km of range per hour is added or usually your EV will get a full charge overnight dependent on each individual car configuration.
DC fast charging is the fastest charging option, ranging from 25 kW to 350 kW DC fast charging capability. This level charger can add 150 km range per hour at the lower end and a full charge at highest charging speeds in 15 minutes (depending on the power available, charger size and car technology).
