AC charging for EV: When it comes to EVs, the converter is built inside the car. It is called the “onboard charger “though it is a converter. It converts AC to DC power and feeds it into the car’s battery. DC charging for EV: DC chargers don’t need the onboard charger to convert. It can feed power directly to the car’s battery. DC chargers are bigger, costly, and require too much-connected load.
