The Changes In Electric Car Charging Equipment

Electric car charging is now one of the biggest priorities for the developers of electric

vehicle technology. The systems which are currently in place in electric cars are

amazingly complex and have the ability to make amazing performance figures from the

batteries under the hood. It’s the electric car charging equipment which is starting to climb to the same levels of effectiveness as the cars themselves. There are a number of

different ways to charge up an electric car but scientists are developing even more

efficient systems which are just starting to be seen in a few locations around the world.

One of the driving forces behind this change in electric car charging equipment is the

American EV company Tesla. They are known for being a high performance electric

motor company providing fast electric vehicles to people all around the world. Their fast

charger is designed to work with their Tesla Model S car and provide some of the

quickest charging you’ll ever see. Known as the “Supercharger” this piece of specialist

equipment can charge up at Model S in less than an hour. This is extremely quick and

means journeys don’t have to be limited by battery range as long as there is a Supercharger station on the way.

Whilst this sort of technology isn’t available to the wider electric car market just yet, it

shows the development of electric car charging equipment is truly alive and well. Some

day, it will be possible to get this sort of charging technology in your own home to make

living with an electric vehicle even easier than it already is. Until then, normal home

chargers can provide adequate performance so you can always use your electric vehicle

whenever you need to make a surprise journey or trip. .
