Actually, it is a very technical question relying on different aspects such as car specifications, available power source, and the installed charger. Mainly, most of the available AC chargers are having charging speeds of 3.5KW up to 22KW. If your power source is 3 Phase and your EV is 3 Phase also, so we can install a 22KW AC charger if there is availability of 22KW in your electricity DBox.

It is a mathematical calculation that you can do yourself. We will take you through how to calculate it easily. If you have an AC charger with a speed of 22KW and your car is 3 Phase, this means you can charge 22KW per hour and if you have an EV battery capacity of 88KW it means that you will divide 88 by 22 to know that it will take you 4 hours to charge your EV fully.

AC charger is the fast charging station coming up to 22KW and can be used in the home, workplace, and any personal location. The DC charger is a very costly charging station that you can locate commercially in the public areas and it is a super fast-charging station with a speed up to 135KW

We can easily assume or calculate how much power consumption can one electric vehicle consume per month to understand how much power will you need and how much will it cost. Kilometers: Assuming that normally vehicles in Dubai are driving up to 30,000KM per year which is 2,500KM per month. Charging Cycles: Taking an example of VW ID4 car, it is driving up to 550KM per charge as per the manual. Assuming that it is going to have only 400KM per charge. It means that it needs 6.25 full charges per month to serve the assumed kilometers. Charging Rate: As per Dewa’s Electricity Tariff, it is 23 fils/kWh + VAT. Monthly Power Consumption: Using the same example car in 2.b, the full battery is 84KW. So, we have a total monthly power consumption of 525KW. Monthly Billing: Following previous points, we can find out that the total monthly billing is going to be AED120.75 + VAT which is coming as AED126.79.

As we have different EV specifications in the market nowadays so we have different charging protocols. We have Type1 & Type 2 protocols for European and USA markets. We have GB/T protocol for China market, and finally, we have the Chademo protocol for Japan market. In Quikr we are providing cables for all available protocols and even we are providing adapters that can allow you to convert any protocol to another to be able to use any charging station.
