What is better for my situation, AC or DC charging?
Ultimately, what’s better depends completely on the use case.
If you’re in need of a quick recharge to continue your long-distance journey then you’ll usually choose DC charging (if your car supports it).
For any other use case, AC charging will be the way to charge your car.
A general tip: match the charging capacity of your car with that of the charge point.
Check out the Shell Recharge app for the average charging price per charge point.
