AC sites are often distributed
Level 2 charging frequently appears across apartments, workplaces, parking lots, hotels, campuses, and fleet depots. Testing plans often account for many ports, varied access conditions, and a mix of network and site-host responsibilities.
DC sites require higher-power planning
DC fast charging adds high-power equipment, connector planning, thermal and site access concerns, and greater transaction value per session. The documentation stakes are often higher because utilization and public visibility are higher.
The common thread
Both AC and DC workflows should tie the measured transaction to the displayed kWh, unit price, total price, and retained record.
