A fast charger (DC charger) supplies direct current (DC) directly to the vehicle battery. This makes charging much faster than with AC charging, where the car's internal onboard charger only has a limited charging speed.

How does fast charging work technically?

• The fast charger converts alternating current (AC) to direct current (DC)
• DC goes directly to the vehicle battery
• The car's internal charger is bypassed
• The car itself determines the maximum allowed charging speed for battery safety

Result:
Where AC charging can take 3-8 hours, a DC fast charger can sufficiently charge a vehicle in 15-45 minutes.

There are tax benefits, increased investment deduction and regional premiums depending on location.

With AC charging, the vehicle's built-in onboard charger converts alternating current to direct current. This limits the power to a maximum of 22 kW. A DC fast charger does this conversion itself and supplies direct current directly to the battery, with capacities from 50 to 400 kW. The result: where AC charging takes hours, a DC fast charger brings a vehicle to 80% in 15 to 45 minutes.
