Trolley pole wheel on top of the trolley pole of Twin City Rapid Transit Company No. 1300. A current collector (often called a "pickup") is a device used in trolleybuses, trams, electric locomotives and EMUs to carry electric power from overhead lines, electric third rails, or ground-level power supplies to the electrical equipment of the vehicles.
Seville Tram equipped with CAF ACR ground-level power supply, 2019. Ground-level power supply, also known as surface current collection or, in French, alimentation par le sol ("feeding via the ground"), is a concept and group of technologies that enable electric vehicles to collect electric power at ground level instead of the more common overhead lines.
In a battery electric vehicle (BEV), the state of charge indicates the remaining energy in the battery pack. [4] It is the equivalent of a fuel gauge.. The state of charge can help to reduce electrical car's owners' anxiety when they are waiting in the line or stay at home since it will reflect the progress of charging and let owners know when it will be ready.

Typically around 1.5 kW maximum, L1 chargers require between a day and a week to charge a car fully. Level 2 (L2) charging — Charging that connects your vehicle directly to the AC electrical ...
Most mid-market electric cars have a maximum charge rate of between 100 kW and 200 kW. Broadly speaking, if you plug into a charger that delivers electricity at the same rate, the battery will ...
Level 2 Charging. Level 2 charging is similar to Level 1, but instead of connecting to a 120V circuit, the EV connects to a 208-240V circuit that supports a higher current and delivers more power.
The North American Charging System (NACS), standardized as SAE J3400, is an electric vehicle (EV) charging connector standard maintained by SAE International. [1] Developed by Tesla, Inc., it has been used by all North American market Tesla vehicles since 2021 and was opened for use by other manufacturers in November 2022.
The amount of range gained per time charging, charging speed, is the ratio of charging power to the vehicle's consumption, and its inverse is the charging time per driven distance: C h a r g i n g s p e e d [ k m / h ] ≡ c h a r g i n g p o w e r [ k W ] c o n s u m p t i o n [ k W h / k m ] {\displaystyle Charging\ speed\ [km/h]\equiv {\frac ...
