Do I need a fast charger?

You need both for fast charging. Think of voltage (V) as the water pressure and current (A) as the size of the tap. If you want more water faster, you need to increase water pressure and/or increase the size of the tap. Our fast chargers do both but then for electricity. Usually people call it fast charging when the speed is 50 kW or more.

What is a fast charging standard?

This fast charging standard provides high charging speeds with 100W+ charging power. This is due to the new Dual Charge technology. Smartphones and devices can be charged up to 10 degrees Celsius cooler and up to four times faster. They charge up to 70% more efficiently than with previous solutions.

Why is fast charging important?

Fast charging is a powerful tool that has made life more convenient for millions of users. While it saves time and offers incredible speed, it’s important to balance its use to protect your device’s battery.

How much power does a fast charging device need?

To qualify as “fast charging,” the charger typically needs to deliver at least 50 watts of power. That translates to voltage and current values like 400V and 125A (400 × 125 = 50,000 W). On smaller devices like smartphones, fast charging often involves delivering power at 5V, 9V, or 12V, with amperage around 2A (2000mA).

How many cars can a Fastned Charger charge?

Offers a peak charging capacity of 270 kW on a 100 kWh battery. Many Fastned stations are equipped with 300 kW chargers. Fastned has grid connections that support charging 4-8 cars simultaneously at up to 300 kW. Other Fastned stations can easily be upgraded with a larger grid connection as well.

Which devices are compatible with fast charging?

Most modern gadgets are compatible with fast charging, including smartphones, tablets, power banks, and even laptops. Apple devices, for instance, have supported fast charging since 2017. You’ll also find fast-charging stations in public spaces like airports, coffee shops, and shopping malls. How Does Fast Charging Work?
