AC chargers are the standard home charging method. They rely on the vehicle’s onboard charger to convert AC to DC. This limits the speed to between 7kW and 22kW depending on the vehicle and supply type.
DC fast chargers convert AC to DC externally and feed power directly to the battery. This enables very high charging speeds but requires large electrical infrastructure which is not suitable for homes.
AC: Ocular IQ Home Solar Universal and Ocular LTE Plus.
DC: Ocular Titan or Ocular Atlas
