Alternating current, direct current, type 2 socket, recharging capacity: difficult to navigate among all the charging station offers.
There are two categories: the first distribute alternating current (AC).
They are equipped with a type 2 plug, the European standard, and sometimes with a domestic plug.
They have four charging power levels: 3.7 kW, 7.4 kW, 11 kW and 22 kW.
The first two powers are more than sufficient for most plug-in hybrids, while the second is recommended for 100% electric models.
The right power
The second category of terminals delivers direct current (DC).
Their charging power starts at 50 kW and climbs up to 250 kW, which is the case for example with Tesla Superchargers, or even 350 kW, like those of the Ionity network.
From 11 kW, this is considered fast charging, and above 50 kW, ultra-fast charging.
With such power, it is thus possible to recover
