08 AC and DC Charging

This document discusses AC and DC charging for electric vehicles. It explains that AC electricity from the grid is converted to DC power for charging the battery. There are different standards for AC and DC charging connectors and power levels around the world. Fast DC charging over 50 kW can add between 250-1750 km of range per hour, while level 1 AC charging adds only 50 km per hour.
