How do EV chargers work?

An EV charger works by providing electrical energy to an electric vehicle's battery. The charger takes the alternating current (AC) electricity from the electrical grid and converts it into direct current (DC) electricity that can be stored in the vehicle's battery. 

How to get an EV charger

Evolve EV installs EV chargers through a simple process of consultation, filling out a google form, evaluation and proposal, scheduling a date, installation and inspection. 

A solar PV system is installed on the building's rooftop or in a nearby location, and it is connected to the grid through a net metering arrangement. The solar panels generate DC electricity, which is converted to AC electricity by an inverter and fed into the building's electrical panel.

The EV charger is then connected to the building's electrical panel and draws power from the grid, which includes solar energy generated by the PV system. This approach can provide a significant amount of solar energy for EV charging.

The benefits of solar-powered EV charging can be significant, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions, lower energy costs, and increased energy independence.

One of the main advantages of using solar energy to power EV chargers is that it can help to reduce carbon emissions. Electric vehicles produce fewer emissions than gasoline-powered vehicles, and when they are charged using renewable energy sources like solar, their emissions are close to zero. This can help to reduce air pollution and mitigate the effects of climate change.

By using solar power to charge electric vehicles, you can avoid or reduce the cost of purchasing electricity from the grid, which can make EV charging more affordable.
