AC￿charging￿with￿7.4 kW￿(SA￿4U8￿AC￿Fast￿Charging)￿is￿standard￿equipment￿for￿the￿US￿market.
The￿EVSE￿is￿located￿inside￿the￿AC￿charging￿station.￿With￿this￿stationary￿version￿of￿the￿EVSE,￿the
time￿to￿fully￿charge￿a￿discharged￿high-voltage￿battery￿in￿the￿I01￿is￿cut￿by￿half,￿when￿compared￿to￿AC
charging￿with￿3.7 kW￿(standard￿equipment￿in￿European￿vehicles).
The￿same￿components￿are￿required￿for￿both￿the￿AC￿charging￿at￿7.4 kW￿(in￿the￿US)￿and￿for￿AC￿charging
at￿3.7 kW￿(in￿EU).￿In￿order￿to￿deliver￿the￿additional￿3.7 kW￿of￿charging￿power,￿the￿7.4￿kW￿system
requires￿a￿different￿charging￿cable￿and￿the￿installation￿of￿a￿convenience￿charging￿electronics￿(KLE).
These￿two￿components￿are￿described￿here￿in￿detail.
