There are many ways to charge an electric car. Here are the specific instructions and steps for each charging method:
1. Use a portable charger that comes with the car
Electric cars are usually equipped with a portable charger, and the owner can charge it through a household power supply (220V AC). The main feature of this charging method is convenience, but the charging speed is slow, which is suitable for long-term parking or rest at night.
The steps are as follows:
After parking the car, open the AC charging port.
Plug the plug end of the charging gun into the three-hole socket, and the gun head end into the AC charging port.
Confirm whether the vehicle is charging normally by observing the indicator lights of the charging gun and the charging port or checking the charging information on the vehicle screen.
2. Home charger
When purchasing an electric car, a home charger is generally given with the car, and a technician will come to install and debug it. The charging time of the home charger is moderate, depending on the brand and model of the car.
The steps are as follows:
Make sure the vehicle is in the parking state and open the charging port cover.
Unplug the charging gun on the charger and insert it into the charging port of the vehicle.
Confirm whether the vehicle is charging normally by observing the indicator lights on the charger and the charging port. At present, most home chargers support plug-and-play charging, and a few home chargers require the use of mobile phone apps or other methods to start charging.
3. Public chargers
Public chargers are another option for charging electric vehicles, supporting both AC slow charging and DC fast charging. The disadvantages of public chargers are that they are less built, difficult to find, and have high charging costs. But in emergency situations or when fast charging is needed, public chargers are very useful.
The operation steps are as follows:
Park the vehicle steadily in the charger parking space, shift the P gear and open the charging port of the vehicle.
Use WeChat on your mobile phone to scan the QR code on the charging pile, fill in the relevant information of the vehicle, and click to start charging.
4. Charging precautions
Make sure that the charger used is compatible with the electric vehicle, and pay attention to whether the output power and charging speed of the charger meet the requirements.
Choose a well-ventilated, dust-free, and moderately warm environment for charging. Avoid charging in a hot, humid or flammable environment to prevent the risk of electric shock or fire.
Before charging, check the battery status of the car. If the battery is already full or fully charged, there is no need to charge immediately.
Check the status of the charging cable, socket, and charging pile to ensure that there is no damage, corrosion or rust. Avoid using extension cords. If you must use them, make sure that the extension cords and charging ports are not placed directly on the ground to prevent water ingress or exposure.
Ensure that the connection between the electric vehicle and the charging device is firm and not loose.
After charging begins, confirm that the voltage and current are within the normal range. If conditions permit, check the charging status regularly to see if it is normal.
Avoid long-term charging and overcharging to prevent the battery from overheating and affecting battery performance and life.
Avoid exposure to the sun and high-power charging. Exposure and continuous heating can cause the charging cable to overheat and may cause safety accidents.
Avoid charging in thunderstorms to prevent lightning strikes from causing combustion accidents.
After charging, turn off the power switch of the charging device in time and make sure that the device has completely stopped working. Put the charging gun head back in place to prevent rain splashing or debris from entering.
In summary, there are many ways to charge electric vehicles, and car owners should choose the charging method that best suits them according to actual conditions. At the same time, pay attention to safety matters during charging to ensure that the charging process goes smoothly.
