EV charging, AC vs DC (over a distance)

Ihavenojob · 2026-07-24T11:35:47+0100

If (and it's a BIG if) I get an EV, is charging it via DC direct from solar quicker than AC from solar with an inverter? The charging port will be about 30 metres from the house, so would running DC that distance have any benefit over using an inverter and AC, or will the DC lose power over that distance? Is it six of one, half a dozen of the other, or is there a definite winner?
