There have been vigorous debates pro and con in the United States and elsewhere over whether electric grids can support EVs at scale. Converting a gas appliance to a heat pump, for example, would draw 4 to 6 kW, while an L2 charger for EVs would be 12 to 14 kW. The answer is a nuanced “perhaps.” million miles of power lines.

After you connect your car’s battery to a DC rapid charging station, AC or alternating current from the grid is converted and stored inside the vehicle in the form of DC or direct current. For this purpose, you either have an AC-DC converter inside the EV or a built-in converter inside the charger.
