What’s the Difference Between AC and DC?
December 19, 2020
A test drive with the Renault Zoe 2018 to our charging stations turned into a rather expeditious trip. The charging time for a Renault ZOE isn’t that much considering the capacity of the on-board charger. While the battery capacity is 41kWh, the on-board charger is well equipped to take over 22kWh during an AC charging session. The ABB terra 54, mainly a DC Charging station, offers 22KW or 43KW AC, developed rather aptly for the Renault Zoe as some models can take up to 43kWh AC power. We tested the Renault Zoe with the ABB Terra 22KW AC Wall Box. The charging session was seamless, progressing at approximately 7KW per phase, 21.9KW in total.
The new Renault Zoe (2020) has an improved battery capacity of 54kWh and a DC and AC Charging port. Fittingly equipped with the CCS2 DC port, the charging time will immensely reduce and provide the vehicle owner with adequate mileage. The possibilities of charging stations from our portfolio for compact EVs such as the Zoe are many. The DC Wall Box from ABB is sleek and suitable for commercial and private installs. Delivering 24kWh DC power, the charging time for the Renault Zoe from 0-80% will barely exceed one hour. With the ABB Terra 54 DC charging station, a 30 minutes charging session at 50kWh will yield an additional 145 kilometers mileage.
