Are High-Speed Charging Piles Widely Available?
1 Answers
No. Not all highway service areas have charging piles, and they are not yet fully widespread. In recent years, the government has been vigorously constructing new energy vehicle charging piles to address the current charging issues for such vehicles. Additional details are as follows: 1. Function of Charging Piles: Similar to fuel dispensers at gas stations, charging piles can be fixed on the ground or walls and installed in public buildings (such as office buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots) and residential community parking lots or charging stations. They can charge various types of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels. The input end of a charging pile is directly connected to the AC grid, while the output end is equipped with a charging plug for electric vehicles. Charging piles (or charging posts) can implement timed charging, metered electricity usage, and cost calculation, serving as public terminals for purchasing electricity. 2. Charging Methods: Charging piles generally provide two charging methods: regular charging and fast charging. Users can swipe specific charging cards on the human-machine interaction interface provided by the charging pile to select the charging method, charging time, print cost data, etc. The display screen of the charging pile can show data such as charging amount, cost, and charging time.
