We install charging stations from A-brands that are both future-proof and high-quality.
The charging stations from our range are all high-performance, modern and user-friendly. Yet they each have their specific properties. In order to propose a charging solution tailored to your electric fleet, we always listen to your specific story first. Many factors play a role in choosing the type of charging station.
AC chargers are the chargers that are often installed at home addresses and public parking lots, as this type of charger can easily be connected to the existing electricity network of a home or business premises.
When charging at an AC charger, the alternating current from the energy network is converted by an inverter in the car into direct current that is suitable for storing in the car's battery. Due to this conversion process in the car, charging on an AC charger takes longer than on a DC charger. Due to the easy connection and lower purchase price, AC charging is the cheapest option. This makes it an excellent way to fully charge the car at night or at work.
DC chargers are also called 'fast chargers'. You can find these fast chargers at the Fastned charging chain, among others, but they are also increasingly found at more progressive gas stations. Kuster Energy in the Achterhoek is a good example of this.
Installing a DC charger is a lot more expensive than installing an AC charger. This is because major adjustments often have to be made to the electrical infrastructure. In addition, an inverter must be installed in the charging station to make the power from the grid suitable for charging your EV.
On the other hand, you can quickly charge your EV sufficiently at a DC charger to be able to drive a long distance again. This is partly due to the large capacity that DC chargers have and partly due to the fact that the power comes out in DC (direct current). This allows it to be stored directly in the battery and you will be on the road again quickly!
