Dump charging is a method of charging an
direct current fast charge (DCFC) such as CHAdeMO, CCS, or Tesla Supercharger used to refuel a BEV's battery as rapidly as possible, limited only by the battery chemistry and thermal management systems. This method is commonly used during road trips in production BEVs to refuel in under a half an hour for a few hundred miles of additional range. Modern DCFC installations often leverage a large capacity stationary battery
to reduce high cost demand charges from grid connections.
