Can New Energy Vehicles Charge with Air Conditioning On?

[AlexanderAnn]

Yes, but it is not recommended to turn on the air conditioning as it will increase power consumption and slow down the charging speed. The compressor of an electric vehicle's air conditioning system is driven by the motor, so using the air conditioning consumes additional electricity. The following explains the hazards of charging while using the air conditioning: Impact on Charging: Generally, new energy electric vehicles operate under relatively stable voltage and current conditions during charging. However, high-power appliances like air conditioners require higher voltage, which can cause current instability and negatively affect charging efficiency. Accelerated Battery Degradation: Using the air conditioning while charging increases the internal charge load on the battery, forcing the battery pack to continue working before it is fully charged. This significantly accelerates the degradation of the power battery pack.
