The simpler and more cost-effective concept of AC charging offers slow to medium-fast charging processes with charging currents in the range of 6 to 32 amps or with charging powers of 3.7 to 22 kW.<\/p><h5>AC charging with a view into the vehicle:<\/h5><p>A special feature of AC charging is the onboard charger installed in the electric vehicle. This converts the incoming AC current into DC current, which is used to charge the vehicle battery. The fact that this conversion takes place in the electric vehicle and is therefore not required at the charging station is one of the reasons why AC home chargers and AC charging stations are usually significantly cheaper than DC charging stations and therefore more attractive for some applications.<\/p><h5>AC charging at the private home charger:<\/h5><p>AC charging at a private home charger offers a convenient and efficient way to charge electric cars at home. With a permanently installed home charger in the garage, carport or parking space, vehicles can be charged safely and gently overnight or during the day. The home charger is connected directly to the power grid and offers a higher charging power than a conventional household socket, resulting in shorter charging times. In addition, home chargers are equipped with various safety functions that monitor the charging process and interrupt it if necessary to prevent overloads or other problems. This ensures safe and reliable charging of the electric vehicle.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ee94f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"6ee94f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"511\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact-emobility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/00207516_full_b5000-768x511.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-10262\" alt=\"Car charges with AC charging cable at a private home charger attached to a fence.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact-emobility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/00207516_full_b5000-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact-emobility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/00207516_full_b5000-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact-emobility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/00207516_full_b5000-1024x681.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact-emobility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/00207516_full_b5000-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.phoenixcontact-emobility.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/00207516_full_b5000-2048x1362.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">AC charging at the private home charger with mobile AC charging cable<\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-96f4fa6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"96f4fa6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Convenience of AC charging with a permanently connected charging cable <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-46482f7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"46482f7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>A central element of AC charging is the AC power contactor, which enables the transfer of power from the charging station to the electric vehicle as soon as the charging controller releases the charging process. These contactors are widely available at reasonable prices, making them the preferred choice for private and commercial charging stations.<\/p><p>Optionally, an AC charging cable can be permanently attached to the home charger or charging station. This eliminates the need for users to bring their own mobile charging cable. The permanently installed AC charging cable is quickly ready for use at any time and cannot simply be stolen. For charging station operators, a permanently installed charging cable does mean slightly higher costs, but the added convenience when connecting the electric vehicle often outweighs this disadvantage. The charging cables are designed to be durable, robust and safe to drive over. AC charging cables are available for different performance classes, offering maximum flexibility and compatibility for different electric vehicles and infrastructures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ffb4b7c elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ffb4b7c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Flexibility through variable connection options of the AC charging cable for AC charging<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-08e5a48 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"08e5a48\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Instead of a permanently installed charging cable, an infrastructure charging socket can also be installed at AC charging stations in accordance with the type 2 charging standard. This solution significantly increases flexibility, as users can bring their own mobile charging cable and use it at both private home chargers and public charging stations. The charging socket, also known as a socket or socket outlet, is not only more cost-effective, but also reduces the risk of damage and vandalism, which are more common with permanently installed charging cables. The infrastructure charging sockets can be equipped with additional technology such as temperature sensors or an LED status display. This allows the charging station to be tailored precisely to the respective safety, convenience and budget requirements without losing compatibility with different electric vehicles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72a3bb4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"72a3bb4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How does the charging current get into the electric vehicle?
