All vehicles have batteries, typically a small 12.6-volt battery used to start the engine. In contrast, electric vehicles (EVs) rely on much larger lithium-ion batteries, storing up to 100 kWh of electricity. These batteries require extended charging periods to reach full capacity. While EVs can be plugged into a standard 120-volt outlet, a full charge may take over a day. That’s where electric vehicle charging stations, or Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE), come in—providing significantly faster charging speeds than a standard wall outlet.
