Left panel, superconducting rectifier circuit used to convert AC currents into DC using four superconducting diodes (blue) connected by superconducting interconnects and one smoothing capacitor (C ...

The charger’s maximum power output is rated at 12.5 kilowatts, all of which can go directly into the battery of an EV without having to go through its AC to DC converter. More EV Charging Stories ...

This gives the DC current from batteries several advantages over AC power, including its reliability, as it mitigates the effects of power outages and acts as a ready supply of power.
