A lot has been said about AC and DC EV chargers. This article will discuss the diverse applications for AC and DC charges. 

Let’s look at 3 places where AC chargers are ideal. 

Residential parking
If you have an AC charger at home, there is no need to wait in line or go to a cafe to charge your vehicle fully. You can charge your electric vehicle overnight at home using Bharat AC 001 Charger.

Service station
Service stations can support customers by adding EV charging to the list of their services. Customers need to keep vehicles for a good part of the day at the service station. Hence, through the AC level 2 charger, staff can charge EVs of all the customers. 

Hotels and resorts
Visitors staying a couple of nights require EV charging stations to charge their vehicles. They can charge vehicles through the charger - Bharat AC 001 overnight.

Here are 3 sites that require DC chargers.

Public charging stations
Unlike AC chargers, DC chargers take somewhere from 40 minutes to 1.5 hours to charge fully. That is appropriate for public charging stations. No one can spend hours at a charging station to charge their EVs. 

Highway public charging stations
EV drivers need charging stations at highways. They take short breaks after long hours of driving. Hence, while having a meal, they can charge their EVs through DC fast charger at highway public charging stations. 

Supermarkets and multiplex
While shopping or watching movies, visitors can benefit from the EV infrastructure with DC chargers. They spend 1 to 3 hours, where DC charger seems perfect for supermarkets and multiplex.

Though AC and DC chargers have different applications, there are some areas where both types of chargers are suitable. 

Business center
All stakeholders in corporate parks benefit from an EV charging station. Employees, who work for the companies placed in businesses centers, use their work hours to charge their electric vehicles with AC chargers. 

On the other hand, clients can benefit from visiting such companies for meetings and charging their EVs with DC chargers. Hence, both types of chargers have distinct advantages to various stakeholders.

Fleet
Although, the fleet requires both types of chargers, fleet managers need to analyze daily distance traveled, the breaks taken by EV drivers, and much more before deciding to install an EV charger. 

Here is why? EV drivers can charge their vehicles while taking short breaks with DC chargers, and they can also charge their vehicles overnight with AC chargers. 

In final words, EV drivers make every effort not to stay at a place to charge their EVs. As a result, Business or property owners need to think carefully about which charge to install at their charging stations.
