When you charge your EV from any type of charger, there are inevitable losses, but they differ depending on the level of the charger used.
How much of the electricity you’re paying for when charging your EV actually ends up in its battery? This may not be a question you ever posed to yourself, but the simple answer is “not all of it.” Whenever you move electricity from one place to another, there are inevitable transmission losses. The further away you have to transmit it, the higher the losses, and if you’re wondering where that lost electricity goes, well, it turns into heat that dissipates.
Some of the electricity lost is simply attributed to what is known as “transmission losses,” some of it is lost to heat, and some is used to keep the battery temperature optimal during charging. In another test, ADAC found that simply plugging an EV into a household socket had even bigger losses than using a wall box. When charging the Renault Zoe without a wall box, it recorded losses of 24.2 percent, and this went down considerably to 9.7 percent when an 11 kW wall box was used.
