AC vs DC charging at home — what your car actually needs

DRAFT — outline only. Do not publish until the figures below are verified. Keep this guide inactive until it is written.

Angle: Clear up the AC/DC confusion for a first-time EV owner.

This guide must answer: - What's the practical difference for home use? - What does a typical car actually need at home? - When is DC ever justified at home? - How charge speed maps to daily driving.

Writing rules: answer the question in the first two sentences, put a real number in the opening paragraph, name the specific city or DISCOM where the answer varies, and link to two related guides and the relevant category page.

Verify before publishing: Technical basics; keep accurate.
