The technology

Alternating current (AC) charging vs fast (DC) charging

Most home and business chargers use alternating current (AC): the car itself converts that current to direct current before it reaches the battery, which limits the charging speed to the capacity of the vehicle's own onboard charger.

Fast (DC) charging does that conversion in the charging point itself, using much more powerful equipment, delivering direct current straight into the battery. That's why it allows much shorter charging times, although it demands a considerably more capable electrical installation.

The trade-off is cost: a fast charger is a much more expensive piece of equipment than a domestic wallbox, and the installation needs more available power at its location. That's why it doesn't make sense everywhere, only where the time saved justifies the investment.

Is it right for you?

Who does it make sense to install fast charging for?

Fast charging fits best in transit locations, where the driver isn't going to stay for hours: petrol stations, service areas, locations next to main roads, or businesses designed for a short stop.

It doesn't usually make sense at a private home, where the car sits overnight and a more affordable AC charge is more than enough. It's also not the best option for businesses where the customer stays several hours, such as offices or some hotels, where a lower-power, lower-cost AC charger is more cost-effective.

It does make sense combined with other services that briefly keep the customer around: a café, a convenience store or a rest area, where the 20-30 minutes of charging is put to natural use without anyone having to wait around doing nothing.

Not sure if it's what you need?

If you're not sure whether your case fits fast charging or a conventional AC installation, tell us your location and type of business and we'll confirm it for you.

The equipment

Fast-charging power outputs and times

Indicative times to recover a good part of the battery; actual time depends on the charger each vehicle supports.
Power	Typical use	Indicative time
50 kW	Businesses and transit locations	30-40 minutes
100-150 kW	Service areas and high turnover	20-30 minutes
150-350 kW (ultra-fast)	Main corridors	Under 20 minutes*

*Only if the vehicle supports that maximum power; most current cars limit charging well below 350 kW.

The installation

What's included in installing a fast charger

Study of the power supply and available power at your location: you'll know if your location is viable before committing to anything.
Arrangements with the grid operator if power needs increasing: we handle the paperwork, so you don't waste time on bureaucracy.
Groundwork for the foundation and protection of the equipment: your investment is protected against impacts and the weather.
Electrical installation and certificate (CIE) for high-power installations: compliant documentation so you can operate with no legal surprises.
Commissioning and functional testing: your equipment starts providing service from day one, with no faults.
Ongoing maintenance of the equipment: less downtime if something fails, so you don't lose income from a broken charger.

At very high power outputs, the available supply may not be enough and a dedicated transformer substation may be needed. We'll confirm this in the feasibility study before giving any fixed quote.

Frequently asked questions

Questions about fast charging

What's the difference between fast (DC) charging and alternating current (AC) charging?

With AC charging, the car's own charger converts the alternating current to direct current before it reaches the battery, which limits the speed. With fast (DC) charging, that conversion happens in the charging point itself, using much more powerful equipment, and direct current goes straight into the battery.

How long does it take to charge an electric car with fast charging?

With a 50 kW charger, a good part of the battery is recovered in 30-40 minutes. With more powerful equipment (100 kW or more), and if the car supports it, that time can be reduced considerably. It always also depends on the charger fitted in the vehicle.

Do I need a special power supply to install a fast charger?

Yes, fast charging requires much higher power than domestic charging, normally with a three-phase installation and, depending on the power chosen, may require additional arrangements with the grid operator or even your own transformer substation.

Is it worth installing a fast charger at my business?

It depends on the type of business and the location. It makes more sense in transit locations, with customers who stay for a short time, than in locations where the customer stays for hours, where a more affordable AC charger is usually enough.

What power should I choose for my location?

It depends on the average time each car will be stopped and your budget: 50 kW is a common starting point for businesses, while higher power outputs make sense in high-traffic transit locations, such as petrol stations or service areas.

Do all electric cars support fast charging?

The vast majority of current electric cars support fast charging at some power level, but each model has its own limit: even if the charger offers more power, the car won't charge above what its battery can accept.
