Interpretation of AC, three-phase and DC charging at charging stations

At present, charging stations on the market generally have three charging modes to choose from, namely AC charging, three-phase charging and DC charging.

1. In AC charging, electric vehicles can be directly connected to a household socket through a charging cable, which is also called charging mode 1 under the IEC 62196-2 standard, and is now basically eliminated because its safety is too low. However, by integrating an in-cable control box (ICCB) on the cable, it is equivalent to adding a controller, which can play a certain protective role. This mode is also called "emergency charging" in AC charging up to 3.6KW. Not all car chargers can be charged with high current. Some older chargers are only suitable for single-phase charging with household sockets (3.6KW). The charging time is too long, and it is recommended to replace them if possible.
