The market penetration of electric vehicles has grown so significantly that it can no longer be ignored, accompanied by a huge demand for charging. What troubles the electric vehicle charging industry is not a lack of market, but rather the lack of reliability, complex charging experiences, and unsatisfactory return on investment. To gain more control in the market, we need to start with Electric vehicle infrastructure. AC charging and DC charging are absolutely mainstream. A thorough understanding of their pros and cons and value realization can help us plan and configure the charging network more strategically and embrace electric vehicles more proactively.   First, let's briefly understand the basic concepts of AC and DC charging.  AC Charging uses an alternating current power source to charge an electric vehicle's battery. The AC from the grid is converted to DC by the vehicle’s onboard charger and stored in the battery. This setup means that the efficiency of AC charging is limited not only by the charger but also by the onboard charger（OBC）.    Therefore, AC charging is generally slower. Although some AC chargers are known as "Rapid Charging," they are not in the same league as DC Fast Charging. These faster AC chargers are usually referred to as Level 2 Chargers, while the lower ones are called Level 1 Chargers.    While the Charging Speed of AC charging is slower, the equipment costs are lower, they are easier to install, and the requirements for the surrounding environment and the grid are relatively low. They require minimal electrical upgrades and are easier to maintain and operate. For drivers, the charging cost is also lower. Therefore, AC chargers are well-suited for places where cars are parked for extended periods (more than an hour), such as homes, workplaces, public parking lots, or roadside parking. Since charging usually takes several hours, it is not suitable for long-distance travelers in a hurry.  Common power include 3.5kW, 7kW, 11kW, and 22kW. Some products now offer higher power, but they come with higher costs and electrical requirements.   As a renowned china charging plug manufacturer, Workersbee's AC charging products have always been popular. This includes charging connectors, charging cables, charging sockets, and portable EV chargers.   In particular, portable EV chargers come in a diverse range of products, including those with screens and without, single-phase and three-phase charging products. These products have been extensively validated in the market over the years, boasting very stable reliability, over 99.9% compatibility, user-friendly smart charging management, and outstanding outlook designs. The impressive market performance further confirms their high performance, high standards, and high reliability.    DC Charging uses a High-power charger (HPC) to draw alternating current (AC) from the grid, which is then converted into direct current (DC) by internal inverters and supplied to the EV's battery. Because the power modules handle substantial amounts of energy, DC chargers are typically larger and have higher procurement, installation, and maintenance costs, with greater electrical requirements.  Since DC power can directly supply large amounts of energy to the EV battery, reducing energy conversion losses within the vehicle, DC charging is highly efficient and fast, significantly reducing charging time. These features make DC charging ideal for public charging stations where vehicles have short stays and for highway corridors for long-distance travel, where there is ample space and convenient electrical distribution. Drivers need not worry about long charging times; a quick restroom break or a cup of coffee is usually enough to provide sufficient charge for their journey. But why doesn’t everyone always prefer fast charging? The charging cost is higher.  For charging station operators, the initial investment is substantial, including equipment, electrical upgrades, and site development, along with high ongoing maintenance costs, all of which are passed on to the drivers.  Additionally, frequent use of fast charging may potentially degrade the vehicle’s battery life time. Furthermore, some vehicles might not support fast charging despite the desire for high efficiency.   Consumers still look forward to safe and stable high-power fast charging in the future. Workersbee's STAR product, the CCS2 liquid-cooled charging plug, has achieved a peak current of up to 700A, while the CCS2 naturally cooled plug offers a continuous current output of 375A. Both products are CE certified, ensuring safety and reliability, with advanced cooling technology guaranteeing high performance and stable operation.   What Can Workersbee Offer Your Business? 1.Comprehensive AC/DC Charging Solutions: Our diverse product lineup includes AC charging solutions for residential and workplace settings, and DC charging solutions for public locations.

AC charging and DC charging each have their own advantages.  For consumers, understanding the differences between the two can help them choose the most suitable charging method based on their specific needs. For charging facility suppliers and operators, a deep understanding of these advantages and disadvantages can help optimize the configuration and layout of chargers, improving the efficiency of the charging network and driver satisfaction. Workersbee believes that we can offer your business more practical and efficient solutions. We remain committed to focusing on user needs, continuously innovating and optimizing our products, and providing robust support for your business.

Increasing access to home charging opportunities is considered a more achievable solution than public charging for EV charging infrastructure. In addition to fixed wall box home chargers, portable EV chargers are greatly favored for their excellent flexibility and affordability. For pioneers who want to join the wave of electric vehicle charging solutions, portable electric vehicle chargers have a lower threshold and less of an investment, but considerable market capacity. They are available as On-the-go EV charging options or simplified home charger options. There are many types of this product on the market. In addition to product appearance, there may be differences in charging speed, charging experience, operation control, etc. Fully understand the types of Portable EV chargers and choose products suitable for target consumers and customers to invest in.   Slowest but most convenient: Level 1 Charger Some automakers or car dealers may include Level 1 chargers with the cars. Plugs directly into a 120V household power supply, the output power is low, adding roughly only 3-5 miles per hour of charging. Although inefficient, it is an affordable solution if you have a private garage where you can charge overnight. Best Pick: Level 2 Charger Level 2 chargers cost far less to install than fixed or wall box chargers but are Fast charging options among portable chargers. The output power usually ranges from 3 kW to 22 kW, and the car can be fully charged in a few hours. It usually integrates more control and operation functions through mobile phone Bluetooth, smart App, and display screen. Its flexibility and faster charging speed make it a favorite charging product among car owners. Most of the chargers we will mention below are Level 2 chargers.   Simplified Charging: Portable EV Charger without Screen In addition to the minimalist design in look, the functional operation is also more simplified. Because there is no LCD screen, the functions only retain some basic charging operations. Usually, no more setup is required, and it connects to a power outlet via a standard plug for plug-and-charge. The structural design is more compact, lightweight, and more portable. Users who do not need advanced functions will prefer its cost-effectiveness and practicality.   Workersbee, a B2B EV charging solutions provider, has launched a series of Soapbox products that can be easily used to charge EVs.
