Global EV and plug-in hybrid sales (BEV+PHEV) topped 14 million units in 2023 ( EV Volumes ) and are projected to surpass 45 million by 2030 ( IEA ). Understanding EV Charging Stations Charging stations vary by connector type, use cases and locale, their power rating, and whether they are AC or DC.

And yet, what about recharging? That means I'd have to recharge at least once. And so that's what we call "DC fast charging." It might be in your neighborhood, but it's something that you will find along interstates or major travel routes. New DC fast-charging stations are being built at a fairly fast clip.

Most EVs are hampered from driving long distances by the gap between charging stations and the time it takes to recharge their batteries, which have limited range. Furthermore, rapid-charging plugs create confusion: most electric cars can receive rapid charging via DC and this is the fastest way to top up your car’s battery.

Charged EVs

High-voltage DC current is more dangerous and harder to interrupt than the comparatively sedate 48 volts used in smaller vehicles. We’re also seeing interest for hybrids based on digestive materials. For instance, a farmer could take all his scraps and put them into a digester, make his own fuel and use that to run a hybrid tractor.

EV Adoption

While I was aware of this trend — I see it loud and clear in my own neighborhood — I hadn’t realized how wide-spread this trend actually was in the US. In my own neighborhood I see several EV drivers with long cables from Level 2 chargers in the garage, and extension cords presumably from a 120 Volt outlet. Volker, Calvin G.

hours to full charge from fully depleted 480V DC Fast Charging To 80 percent charge in 38 minutes or less (from five percent). Driving around town, stuck in stop-and-go rush hour freeway traffic or coasting down hills will recharge the battery. The turning radius was impressive, making for easy U-turns in your neighborhood.
