Understanding AC and DC charging helps you choose a suitable stop and plan your time. Always check your vehicle guide and the connector available at your chosen station.
AC charging at home and at work
AC charging uses the vehicle’s onboard charger to convert electricity for the battery. It is often a practical option when your car can remain parked for a longer period, such as overnight or during a working day.
DC charging on a journey
DC equipment supplies electricity directly to the battery through a compatible charging connection. The actual charging rate depends on the vehicle, battery level, temperature and charger conditions.
Before you connect
Confirm the connector, opening hours and displayed tariff. Follow the instructions on the charger and in the app. Stop the charging session before disconnecting the cable.
