Can electric vehicles be charged at highway service areas?

[Hayley]

Highway service areas can charge electric vehicles, as they are now equipped with charging stations. Here are some precautions to note when charging at service areas: Turn off the headlights: When charging, adjust the headlights to AUTO or turn them off. Electric vehicles do not have engine idling, so before leaving the car, you must check whether the vehicle's power is turned off. Generally, the headlights and low-power electrical equipment in new energy vehicles are powered by the vehicle's battery. If left on for a long time, the battery can easily discharge. Even if the power battery is fully charged, the vehicle battery may be depleted, which can affect the vehicle's startup. Avoid using air conditioning and in-car devices: While charging, most owners tend to wait inside the car and may think of turning on the air conditioning during summer or winter. In fact, you can use the air conditioning while charging, but it's best to avoid it if possible. Using air conditioning while charging can reduce the lifespan of the battery pack.
