Basics of EV charging

Erik Hurd is back to discuss the fundamentals of EV charging, including:
• Hybrid (HEV), plug-in hybrid (PHEV) and battery electric vehicle (BEV)
• AC charging (level 1 and level 2) and DC charging
• EV plug types (J1772, CCS, CHAdeMO and Tesla connectors)
• EV infrastructure

All this affects charge time, essentially how quickly EV drivers can get back on the road.

Visit the Power Systems Experience Center (PSEC) locations to learn about Eaton’s portfolio of electric vehicle solutions including:
• Green Motion charge stations and smart breaker chargers
• Charging Network Manager platform for EV charger management
• xStorage 400 energy storage system
