Frequently asked questions

AC chargers feed the vehicle's onboard charger, so the car's AC input limit controls the session. DC chargers perform conversion outside the vehicle and supply the battery directly. AC usually fits homes, offices and destinations where vehicles remain parked for hours. DC fits public sites, corridors and fleets where dwell time is short. Check Type 2, CCS2, CHAdeMO or IS 17017-2-6 compatibility before selecting hardware. Compare Spider Mini and Smart for homes, Blaze and Strike for workplaces, Spider Fast and higher-power models for public sites, and Spider Base for supported light-EV fleets. Site design must also account for phase, sanctioned load, cable route, simultaneous sessions, access control and CPMS requirements.
