When I recently switched to a new energy vehicle, I specifically researched the compatibility issues of charging piles and found it's not that simple. In fact, mainstream charging piles on the market are divided into two types: AC slow charging and DC fast charging. The slow charging ports are basically unified with the national standard seven-hole design, allowing different brands of cars to charge when plugged in. However, the fast charging protocols vary among manufacturers. Tesla's Supercharger stations don't charge other vehicles unless an adapter is used. Some charging piles from joint-venture brands can't even be plugged into by vehicles with national standard ports. Therefore, when purchasing a charging pile, you need to check which protocols your car supports. For public charging piles, it's best to check the charging APP in advance to ensure compatibility with your car model before going. After all, charging standards haven't been globally unified yet, making it much more troublesome than refueling.
