Who wants to wait

Humorous e-car drivers also call normal charging stations "snore chargers". If you are in a hurry, choose other sockets.  

When filling up with liquid fuel, there is only one speed: brisk. Charging an electric car, on the other hand, can take a long time or a very long time. If you don't have time for the latter, you can use the fast charger.  

The term "fast charger" is used differently by each manufacturer. In the relevant legal texts on e-mobility, one finds the definition that all charging processes with outputs above 22 kW could be referred to as fast charging. Another possible differentiation would be alternating current charging (AC, up to a maximum of 44 kW) versus direct current charging (DC, from 50 kW). In practice, the choice of definition hardly makes a difference, as there are virtually no AC charging points with more than 22 kW of power in this country. The number of suitable vehicles is also rather small.  

In addition to fast charging, other terms have recently become established that are intended to indicate particularly fast fast charging. The term ultra-fast charging ("High Performance Charging", HPC), for example, has become established. This mostly refers to the DC charging stations of the Ionity operator consortium, which deliver up to 350 kW.  

However, the fastest charging station doesn't help if the e-car is slow to fill up. How much energy flows depends primarily on what the vehicle can handle at its peak or in the long term. In the case of pure electric cars, this is currently usually between 50 and 100 kW.
