Electric vehicle charging stations use both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) to power EVs. AC vs. DC Power Near the turn of the 20th century, Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla were developing the types of electric power we use today. Tesla established AC electricity to combat some of the obstacles DC presented.
