How does a DC fast charge work?

• Electric cars, much like the phone and laptop you
  use, require chargers to put electricity into
  their batteries, where energy is stored. And just
  like these devices, they can only be charged when
  plugged into the right charger or adaptor. An
  important distinction between the two, however,
  is the size of the product and magnitude of
  energy needed to run it. 
• Electric cars can take up to several hours to
  fully charge, and they are usually left charging
  overnight so that they are ready to go the next
  morning. Now imagine if there was a way to charge
  your car as fast as that turbocharger that juices
  up your phone in 30-45 minutes. Thats where the
  MG ZS EVs DC fast charge comes in.

Understanding DC Fast Charging
In the most basic of terms, DC fast charging is
Dash Charging as far as electric vehicles are
concerned. A DC fast charger can typically take
your EVs battery from 10 to 80 in
approximately 50 minutes! It can even complete a
full charge in a couple of hours at the most.
This means that if you are a ZS EV owner, you can
typically get a range of about 200 km with just
this single charge. 
A regular AC electric vehicle charger, on the
other hand, usually takes north of 7 hours to
fully charge your EV battery. This is because
these chargers have been designed to be fitted at
homes or offices, offering you the option to
charge your vehicle overnight or while you work.
They are also the most commonly available
chargers.

Factors That Can Affect Your Fast Charge
While DC fast charging follows protocols similar
to your mobile or any device with a battery,
certain factors may hamper its fast-charging
ability. For instance, if a battery is too cold,
it might take a while to start charging at the
fastest possible rate. Alternately, if the
battery gets too hot, the rate of charging might
slow down.
The charging rate of DC fast chargers may also
slow down once the battery hits 80. This helps
protect the battery from overcharging and getting
damaged. It also ensures to never send more
electricity than the battery can handle. For
this reason, different electric vehicles may have
different fast-charging rates depending on the
status of their vehicles battery.
