AC is used as it\u2019s cheaper to generate, suffers less energy loss than direct current (DC), and can be easily stepped up or down with the use of transformers. Yet, in the case of EVs, there are two charging methods at our disposal \u2013 AC and DC charging. So, which EV charging option is better?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How AC Charging Works<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The AC charger (wallbox) can be installed at home and in communal spaces like in apartment parking lots. It\u2019s the preferred type of EV charger for electric car owners as it\u2019s cheap and easy to install.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It sends AC power from the grid directly to your EV.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your car\u2019s onboard current converter converts the AC power from the wall outlet to DC to charge the batteries.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AC charging is less demanding on the grid but has a slower charging rate and typically takes eight hours to charge your car batteries to 80 percent.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/hybrid-cars-malaysia\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything You Need to Know about Hybrid Cars<\/span><\/a><\/span><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30400\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/graphics-AC-vs-DC-charging.jpg\" alt=\"AC vs DC charging graphics\" width=\"1920\" height=\"873\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/graphics-AC-vs-DC-charging.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/graphics-AC-vs-DC-charging-300x136.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/graphics-AC-vs-DC-charging-1024x466.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/graphics-AC-vs-DC-charging-768x349.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/graphics-AC-vs-DC-charging-1536x698.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/graphics-AC-vs-DC-charging-150x68.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/graphics-AC-vs-DC-charging-696x316.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/graphics-AC-vs-DC-charging-1068x486.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image source: wallbox.com<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How DC Charging Works<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DC chargers, also called fast chargers, convert AC from the grid to DC before it enters the vehicle.
