The AC charger provides AC power, which is then converted to DC power by the charger built into the EV (before it reaches the battery). AC chargers are commonly used in slow charging applications such as home charging.

The DC charger converts AC power from the grid into DC power, which is more efficient and supplies the battery directly. Thus, the charging time is much shorter. DC systems are commonly used in commercial/public charging applications where shorter residence times are required.

OtoPods currently has 2 types of electric charging stations, namely AC EV Station and DC EV Station. The AC EV Station has 7Kw of power and the DC EV Station has 25Kw of power (Fast Charging).

This depends on your situation. The Fast DC charger is ideal for cases where you need to recharge your EV quickly, such as at a charging station or a rest stop.

AC chargers are suitable for places where you stay longer, such as work, shopping malls, cinemas, and at home
