EV Charging

EV charging refers to the process of supplying electric energy to plug-in electric vehicles (EVs), which include battery electric vehicles (BEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). This charging can occur through various types of charging stations, which may be located at home, work, or public charging facilities. EV charging is accomplished using electric power supplied from the grid, solar panels, or other renewable energy sources. The charging infrastructure is typically categorized into different levels based on the speed and power output, such as Level 1 (standard household outlets), Level 2 (dedicated charging stations), and DC fast charging (high-speed charging stations). The growing adoption of EV charging is essential for supporting the transition to sustainable transportation, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and lessening dependence on fossil fuels.
