AC is the type of electricity that flows through power grids and into homes and businesses, including to power EV chargers. AC can be thought of as "low and slow" charging, while DC is very fast and powerful. Some models (typically from Japan or South Korea) might use a CHAeMo plug. Coverage is sparse for now.

Wires have a lot going for them when it comes to moving electric power around, but they have their drawbacks too. Who, after all, hasn’t tired of having to plug in and unplug their phone and other rechargeable gizmos? Indeed, it’s hard to recharge or power a device when the air gap is just a few centimeters, much less a few meters.

EV owners should be urged to charge at night to save not only money and the power grid but “ the world ,” a news headline cries out. Not so fast, exclaim researchers at Stanford University, who state that charging EVs during the day is actually cheaper, better for the grid, and healthier for the environment.

The Japan Automobile Research Institute (JARI) is also in alignment with the J1772 work, Kissel said earlier. The different approaches, Kissel had noted before the session, are based on the different electric infrastructures in place (single phase in the US and Japan, 3-phase in Europe).

The electricity for recharging has to come from somewhere, which means power plants. Depending upon where you live, power plants are often burning natural resources. The true impact of electric vehicles should consider the make-up of the power grids where these cars will be used. Does that bother you?

A key thing, he said, will be to recharge the batteries at an acceptable time for the electricity grid — to “make sure people aren’t charging at the very peak, peak time,” like late afternoon when the electricity grid is already weighted down by demands like air conditioning.
