Precautions for Using an EV Charger

With the progress of science and technology, cars are also constantly reforming. From the original oil burning to the current pure electric engine, EVs development is gaining steam. Yet there are many places to pay attention to when charging. For example, some people tend to use the vehicle after it's fully charged while others tend to charge the car while using it. What are the precautions for using an EV charger?

1. Correctly master the charging time when charging an EV charger

Correctly grasp the charging time when charging EV charger. At present, the charging time of pure electric vehicles is relatively long, generally 8-10 hours. It should be stopped in time to avoid long-time charging. Especially in hot summer, it is best to charge based on the principle of slow charging supplemented by fast charging, because the side effect of fast charging on the power battery is much greater than that of slow charging.

2. Choose a good charging environment when charging an EV charger

Choose a good charging environment when charging with an EV charger. When charging a pure EV, the EV charger will generate a lot of heat, and the power battery pack will also generate heat. Therefore, it is necessary to select a place with a good ventilation environment for charging. Poor ventilation environment may cause safety hazards due to overheating.

3. Cut off the power first and then pull out the charging plug after using the EV charger

After using the EV charger, cut off the power first, and then pull out the charging plug. Due to the relatively small number of charging piles at present, queuing may occur in some bustling areas. Some car owners will directly pull out the charging plug when the power is on. That will not only damage the battery, but also damage the charging pile. So the charging plug should be pulled out after it stops working.

Another is that the charging equipment should be checked before being charged with an EV charger. Before charging, form the habit of checking the charging interface of the vehicle and charging plug interface. Be sure to keep them dry. If it is rainy and snowy, try to charge in an indoor environment.
