Description
A 120 kW DC charger is a high-power direct current (DC) fast charger designed for electric vehicles (EVs). It provides 120 kilowatts of power directly to the vehicle’s battery, allowing for significantly faster charging times compared to AC chargers. DC chargers bypass the onboard charger in the vehicle and supply DC power directly to the battery, which is why they can charge much faster than AC chargers, making them ideal for public charging stations, highway rest areas, and commercial EV fleets.
Key Features of a 120 kW DC Charger:
-
Power Output:
- The charger delivers 120 kW of DC power, which enables fast charging at a much higher rate than most residential or standard public chargers. This allows for a rapid top-up of the vehicle’s battery, reducing downtime for drivers.
-
Charging Speed:
- A 120 kW DC charger can charge an electric vehicle from 0% to 80% in approximately 30-40 minutes, depending on the vehicle’s battery size and the vehicle’s charging capacity.
- For example, for an EV with a 60 kWh battery, a 120 kW charger can typically add around 200-250 km of range in 30 minutes of charging.
- Charging times may vary slightly depending on factors such as the battery’s initial charge level, temperature, and the vehicle’s maximum charging rate.
