DC charger

6 Episode Mentions

Too Afraid to Ask

It’s a special kind of charging station that plugs into your electric car and charges it much faster than the regular home charger.

Technical Definition

A DC charger supplies direct current directly to an electric vehicle’s battery, allowing faster charging compared to AC chargers. High‑power DC stations can add significant range in a short time.
