Are there different types of EV charger?

There are three main types of EV charger: fast (DC) and slow (AC).

Fast or super chargers are mainly found at motorway services and other public locations where super-fast charging is necessary during a journey. A typical example is Tesla Supercharger station, which takes just 20 minutes to charge the vehicle up to 80%. In Netherlands, there are FastNed, Allego, Shell Recharge and etc. at the highway fuel stations or at city urban areas.

Slow chargers are the standard for home and workplace charging and enable people to charge their vehicles within a few hours, depending on the vehicle and rating of the charger. The most common slow charger we install is rated at 7/11/22kW, which will charge most vehicles from 0-100% within 5-12 hours.
