AC or DC fast charging solutions?

Inhalt:
Standard charge for electric vehicle is an AC charge for some kilowatts. For fast charging, DC charge with an external charger is frequently developed. The investments for the deployment of DC chargers can be supported by car manufacturers as TESLA or by collectivities. The major aim of this paper is to present the results and conclusions of two projects about the question of AC or DC fast charging solutions. The first one, ElLiSup (bus application) is a national project in France, the second project is ESPRIT (electric vehicles application), an H2020 European project. The second goal is to compare the different existing fast charging solutions and to propose new potential solutions for the next years.
