ac charging 7kw
**AC charging 7kW** refers to charging an electric vehicle (EV) using alternating current (AC) at a maximum power output of **7 kilowatts**.
It is a common Level 2 home and public charging standard, typically using a **single-phase 230V supply** (in regions like Europe and the UK). At 7kW, an EV can gain roughly:
- **25–40 km (15–25 miles) of range per hour**, depending on the vehicle’s efficiency.
The actual charging speed depends on:
- The vehicle’s **onboard charger capacity** (it must support 7kW to charge at that rate)
- The battery’s state of charge
- The power supply and charging equipment
7kW AC charging is slower than DC fast charging but is well-suited for **overnight home charging** or longer parking periods.
