Accordion If you’ve ordered an RFID charging card, they will be sent via courier directly to the address information submitted for your customer account. The processing of these cards is handled on a weekly basis, so the RFIDs should arrive within 2 weeks of the order. While waiting for the RFIDs to arrive, you can use the mobile app to start charging. The login credentials are sent to you immediately after you’ve registered. When the RFIDs arrive, they are linked to your account and are ready to use.

We are sorry that you’re planning to leave!

In the electric vehicle (EV) world, there are two types of chargers: Alternating Current (AC), and Direct Current (DC), and these are a reference to how the electric energy is shaped at the output of the charger. AC chargers are normally lower powered and slower, intended for residential and small commercial scenarios. They only require a low power electrical supply. DC chargers are normally higher powered and fast, intended for larger commercial scenarios. They require a high power electrical supply.

For EVs its necessary to convert between the two: AC needs to be made DC so that the EVs batteries can be charged. The opposite, DC-to-AC, is used when Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) systems are used, so that the batteries energy can be pushed back into the local utility grid.

When using an AC charger, the charge point only has to control the local AC energy being supplied to the EV, it does not need to convert it in any way. Its the EV’s small, light weight (therefore low power & slow) AC-to-DC charger that slowly fills the EV’s battery.

This is where DC chargers have their advantage – being on the ground and not part of the EV, they don’t have size and weight limits. Therefore they can have very large power control circuits, and convert very high AC power from a local grid utility, into very high DC power, and transfer it straight to the EV’s battery, thus quickly filling it.

More technically: AC and DC is actually a reference to how electrical energy is delivered to a useful load:

In a DC system, the energy flow is always linear, flowing from a point of higher voltage (typically called the positive terminal, anode) to one of lower voltage (typically called the negative terminal, cathode, zero volts). Voltage is like pressure in a fluid system – potential difference.  The big advantage of DC is that batteries, which can only be DC, can store very high amounts of electrical energy, and can deliver it at very high power – ideal for electric cars. Strictly speaking, its not possible to store AC energy.

In an AC system, the energy flows around a common zero voltage point, in a sinusoidal manifestation: the zero point (similar to a DC negative point) acts as a drain to an active voltage (similar to a DC positive point), but this active voltage (V) causes energy flow in a sinusoidal fashion: it starts at 0V, rises parabolically to a peak voltage (typically 380V), then falls likewise back to 0V, continues seemingly past the 0V to the opposing peak voltage (-380V), then back to 0V, thus completing one cycle, which is repeated infinitely at a frequency (typically 50Hz). Nearly all local utility supply power is AC because its easier to generate and transport and convert to higher or lower voltages (using transformers).[/vc_toggle][vc_toggle title=”What are the different plugs for?”]Type2 is an EU standard in EV charging and happens to be the most common plug in the market place. Type2 is used for AC charging and is most commonly used in cases where your car is parked for a few hours such as shopping malls, workplaces or residential buildings. Charging power with Type2 plug is higher than with a traditional wall plug but the power output depends on your car charging abilities.

CCS is an European standard for quick charging. CCS plugs are DC, which means the charging power and speed is significantly higher. CCS plugs are usually found along highways where the stop for charging needs to be quick but powerful.

CHAdeMO is the Japanese standard for quick charging. Usually high-speed chargers are equipped with both CHAdeMO and CCS plugs for good compatibility.

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a technology which can be used for authenticating yourself at a charging station, by means of a simple small keyring-sized object.  An RFID contains a number, which is linked to your account and when scanned at a charging station, you can control charging without a mobile or web application.
