    What is DC Fast Charging?

    Rapid public charging — goes from 10% to 80% in 30-60 minutes.

    Direct Current (DC) fast charging bypasses the car's onboard charger and feeds DC directly to the battery. Speeds: 25 kW (slow fast), 50 kW (typical fast), 100-150 kW (ultra fast), 250+ kW (Tesla/Porsche). Costs more per kWh (₹18-22) but perfect for long trips and occasional top-ups.
