22kw ac charging
**22kW AC charging** refers to an electric vehicle (EV) charging method that delivers up to **22 kilowatts (kW)** of power using **alternating current (AC)**.
It is typically used with **Level 2 AC chargers** and requires a **three-phase electrical supply** (common in commercial or industrial locations). The vehicle’s **onboard charger** converts the AC power into DC power to charge the battery.
### Key Points:
- **Power output:** Up to 22 kW
- **Charging type:** AC (Alternating Current)
- **Typical connector (Europe):** Type 2 (Mennekes)
- **Charging speed:** Faster than standard home 7 kW chargers, but slower than DC fast chargers
- **Use case:** Public charging stations, workplaces, commercial buildings
Charging time depends on the vehicle’s onboard charger capacity and battery size. For example, a car with a compatible 22 kW onboard charger can typically gain around **60–120 km (35–75 miles) of range per hour**, depending on efficiency.
