Are There Charging Piles in Highway Service Areas?
1 Answers
Only some highway service areas have charging piles, and the distribution of charging piles is not yet widespread nationwide. Therefore, it is advisable to plan your route in advance and check whether the service areas along the planned route have charging piles to avoid the risk of running out of power mid-journey. More details are as follows: Charging Piles: Charging piles function similarly to fuel dispensers at gas stations. They can be fixed on the ground or walls and are installed in public buildings (such as office buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots, etc.) and residential parking areas or charging stations. They can charge various types of electric vehicles at different voltage levels. Function: The input end of a charging pile is directly connected to the AC power grid, while the output end is equipped with a charging plug for electric vehicles. Charging piles generally offer two charging modes: standard charging and fast charging. Users can swipe a specific charging card on the human-machine interface of the charging pile to select the charging mode, charging duration, print cost data, and perform other operations. The display screen of the charging pile shows data such as charging amount, cost, and charging time.
