Can New Energy Vehicles Be Started While Charging?

[Addyson]

New energy vehicles can be started while charging. Below are specific details about new energy vehicles: 1. Power Source: New energy vehicles refer to those that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources or conventional vehicle fuels with new on-board power devices, integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving to form vehicles with advanced technical principles. 2. Classification: New energy vehicles include pure electric vehicles, extended-range electric vehicles, hybrid vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles, hydrogen engine vehicles, and other new energy vehicles. 3. License Plates: Special license plates for new energy vehicles feature green backgrounds with black characters and black borders. New energy vehicle license plates are gradient green, while large new energy vehicle license plates are yellow-green dual-color.

A few days ago, I drove my electric car to charge it. After plugging in the charger, I curiously pressed the start button to test the air conditioning, but the alarm went off and the charging automatically stopped. A repair friend told me that starting the main system during charging is very risky, as it may cause voltage instability, circuit conflicts, or battery overheating. The battery management system usually has protection mechanisms to prevent starting the car in discharge mode to avoid accidents. Now when charging, I just sit quietly in the car using my phone or listening to the radio, and I absolutely avoid touching the start button. Additionally, it’s best not to tamper with electrical devices around charging stations, keep the environment dry and safe to prevent accidents. Wait patiently until charging is complete before starting the car—this protects the vehicle and ensures peace of mind.

From a design perspective, during the charging of new energy vehicles, the battery management system prioritizes the charging task. The activation of the drive motor or high-voltage system may be locked to prevent interference. Interlock devices are commonly installed at the charging port, cutting off the charging process upon receiving a start signal to ensure safety. Manufacturers implement these measures to avoid risks such as overload and short circuits. During charging, low-voltage functions like turning on lights or playing music can be used, but attempting to drive the vehicle is not advisable. From a maintenance standpoint, frequent conflicts can easily damage the charger or affect battery health. Additionally, optimizing charging efficiency requires a dedicated power supply environment, so avoid unnecessary activation that could cause interference.

Starting the car while charging is unsafe and prone to issues. Voltage fluctuations may cause short circuits and equipment damage. The manual explicitly prohibits such operations to prevent accidents. I advise against trying it even out of curiosity. Waiting until charging is complete before starting the car to check things is the proper approach. You can rest inside the car with the doors locked, but avoid touching mechanical components. If interior operations are necessary, ensure proper ventilation.
