What Is an EV Charger?

EV chargers supply power from your home's electrical system and allow your vehicle to recharge safely and efficiently. Most electric vehicles convert alternating current (AC) electricity from the power grid into direct current (DC) electricity that powers the battery. Some public fast-charging stations deliver DC power directly to the vehicle, allowing for significantly faster charging times.
