DC electric vehicle charging station
In plain English
What does DC electric vehicle charging station mean?
A DC charging station performs offboard power conversion and supplies controlled DC to the vehicle interface.
A simple example
The station coordinates the requested voltage and current with the connected vehicle.
What the drawings help you do
Show the grid-side conversion stages, controlled DC output and vehicle communication separately. The station performs offboard conversion; its cable and connector deliver the resulting DC interface. A site drawing also needs the selected cabinets, auxiliaries and installation interfaces beyond this functional overview.
- Offboard
- Equipment located outside the vehicle.
- DC output
- The controlled direct-current supply presented by the selected charging system.
Before using this reference
- Separate AC input, conversion and DC output paths.
- Identify the vehicle-control and measurement interfaces.
- Reference the exact power modules, connector and installation documents.
Is a DC station just an AC charge point with another connector?
No. The power-conversion location and control arrangement differ. A DC station includes offboard conversion that regulates the DC supplied to the compatible vehicle interface.

A distinction that matters
Offboard DC conversion is different from AC charging through the vehicle's onboard charger.
