Regardless of how or where you charge, not all the electrical energy pulled from the grid—those watts—will make it into the “fuel tank” (battery). EV batteries store and produce DC electricity, not AC electricity. This is important because EV batteries are charged with DC power. Why does battery temperature matter?
