One of these components is the inverter, which changes direct current (DC) from the car’s batteries into alternating current (AC) to power its drive motor (Figure 1). The inverter’s ability to provide a smooth flow of current depends on its integral DC link capacitor (Figure 2). Indispensable Inverter, Crucial Capacitor.

It also produces contrails, which are being studied for their impact on climate change. Its fuel stores about 43 megajoules of energy per kilogram, and a current-model engine can convert that stored energy into thrust with an efficiency of around 40 percent. DC power supplies were also used to simulate the batteries.

AC Propulsion cofounder Wally Rippel converted a Volkswagen microbus into an electric vehicle while he was still a student at Caltech. The system converted AC grid power to DC power to charge the battery and could also convert DC power from the battery to AC power that could feed both external stand-alone loads and the grid.

And so that's what we call "DC fast charging." New DC fast-charging stations are being built at a fairly fast clip. The challenge for the makers there is that there are multiple DC fast charging networks out there run by different companies. But Nissan has announced that for North America, they too are converting over to CCS.
