How electric vehicle charging stations work in Ontario.
Electric vehicle charging stations work by delivering electrical power to the vehicle’s battery pack, which is responsible for powering the vehicle’s electric motor. There are different types of charging stations that work at varying speeds and with different power levels. Charging stations make use of an alternating current (AC) or direct current (DC) connection to quickly pump electrons into their respective cars. The most common type of charger is known as Level 1, which uses alternating current electricity from a standard wall outlet. This type of charger typically takes 8-12 hours to fully charge an EV battery, depending on its size and capacity.
The next level up is Level 2 or DC charging, which uses direct current (DC) electricity from a dedicated wall outlet or public charging station. This type of charger can charge an EV (electric vehicle ) battery in 4-6 hours, depending on its size and capacity. Finally, there is Level 3 or DC fast charging, which uses very high voltage DC electricity from a dedicated wall outlet or public charging station. This type of charger can charge an EV battery in 20 minutes to 1 hour, depending on its size and capacity.
