Stacked lithium iron phosphate battery pack energy storage machine

This depends on the EV battery size, remaining battery capacity, and the type of EV charger used as well as environmental conditions such as temperature.Typically, an AC charger with an output power of 7–22 kW can fully charge an EV in between 3 and 6 hours.With a 50–200-kW DC fast charger, the charge time can be reduced to 10–60 minutes.

An AC charger provides AC power, which is then converted to DC power by an onboard charger inside the EV (before it reaches the battery). AC chargers are normally used in slow-charging applications such as home charging. A DC charger converts AC power from the grid into DC power, which is more efficient and supplies the batteries directly. Thus, the charging time is markedly shorter. DC chargers have higher power requirements and therefore a higher installation complexity. As such, the installation cost can be higher than that for an AC charger. DC systems are generally used in commercial/public charging applications where shorter dwell tines are needed

This depends on your situation. Fast DC chargers are ideal for cases where you need to recharge your EV quickly, such as at an intercity highway charging station or rest stop. An AC charger is suitable for places where you stay longer, such as workplace, shopping malls, cinema and at home.
