A volt is the unit of measurement for electric potential or voltage. In the context of electric vehicles, volts measure the force driving electrical current through the vehicle’s systems. Higher voltage levels allow for faster charging and more efficient power delivery to the electric motor. For example, many modern EVs operate on 400V or even 800V systems, which can reduce charging times significantly when paired with high-powered chargers. Voltage is also a key factor in determining the compatibility between the vehicle and different types of chargers.
