Three ways to charge your Volkswagen electric vehicle
AC/DC - How do they differ?
Alternating current (AC) is the power used by domestic UK plug sockets . Because AC sockets are so common, they’re what most people use to charge their vehicles. However, there is a faster way...
With a direct current (DC) you can rapid charge, which delivers over 10x the charging speed of the mains power you’ll find at home. You can charge your vehicle with DC power at CCS (Combined Charging System) stations, and our electric vehicles come with a CCS socket as standard for you to use for rapid charging.
