In one-directional charging, alternating current (AC) electricity is converted to direct current (DC) energy that’s stored in an EV battery to power the car. This conversion can happen within the charger or in the vehicle, depending on which device is equipped with a converter. This can further reduce your utility costs.

Incorporating a BES system can aid in lowering the operational costs of a DC fast charger. Unlike Level 2 chargers that use 208/240-volt (V) input, DC fast chargers demand 480 V (often necessitating a new transformer). This is accomplished using bidirectional electronic converters that link the electrical network to EV batteries.
