An AC charging station is a power supply unit located on the ground that is connected to the electrical grid, serving to charge various models of electric vehicles with various voltage levels. It can also provide communications, billing, and safety protection functions. A charging terminal connects AC voltage from the grid directly to a vehicle's onboard charger via cable.

Electric vehicle batteries require DC power, yet electricity from the grid is almost exclusively AC. This is because AC voltage allows for easier voltage stepping than having to convert from AC into DC in advance. To accommodate EV charging needs, chargers specifically tailored for them take in AC electricity before performing necessary voltage rectification to deliver DC to their batteries.

AC charging stations are by far the most prevalent at home and public EV charging networks alike, due to being relatively inexpensive and widely available - however they take twice as long to recharge an EV battery than DC fast chargers do.

DC charging may be more costly and less accessible than AC, but its faster, more powerful top-ups make it perfect for long journeys or quick top-ups between short trips. Unfortunately, DC fast chargers may be less convenient to find than AC ones.

This AC charging station comes equipped with 10 wide-spaced NEMA 5-15R outlets to support up to 10 tablets, laptops, or e-readers at once. It provides AC charging, secure storage, cord management and surge suppression while its integrated surge suppression, EMI/RFI noise filtering and diagnostic LEDs help avoid overcharging, overheating or other damages to connected devices.

Detachable Type 2 connectors support both single-phase and three-phase charging, providing up to 22 kW of power to compatible EVs. It features a locking system for charging cable connections as well as an access door that covers them to prevent unauthorised entry; additionally, this unit features an inbuilt human machine interface to display its status and operation.

The AC charging station features a control system designed to monitor and record information on its operation and performance, including an LCD display that shows charging status as well as permitting operators to select AC or DC charging modes. Furthermore, there is an internal temperature sensor as well as charging cable made from heat-resistant material; additionally, cellular modem connectivity enables remote monitoring and control; plus its IP65 housing provides water resistance and dustproofness - ideal for outdoor use.
