A charging station is part of the grid infrastructure installed along a street, parking lot or in a home garage; its primary purpose is to supply the power to the PHEV for charging the battery. There are mainly two types of charging systems, as shown in Table 1-1: AC and DC charging systems.
An AC charger powers the EV battery through the vehicle’s on-board charger, while a DC charger directly charges the vehicle’s battery.
Table 1-1 details the charging stations classified based on power levels.
