Can residential charging piles charge electric vehicles?
1 Answers
Residential charging piles can charge electric vehicles if they are specifically designed for EVs, otherwise they cannot. This is because EV charging piles have an output power of about 5000W, whereas electric two-wheeler charging piles typically have a maximum power of around 2000W with an output power of about 200W, which is insufficient for car battery requirements. Below is relevant information about EV charging piles: Positioning: Charging piles function similarly to fuel dispensers at gas stations. They can be fixed on the ground or walls, installed in public buildings (such as office buildings, shopping malls, public parking lots) and residential community parking areas or charging stations. They can charge various models of electric vehicles according to different voltage levels. Charging methods: Charging piles generally provide two charging modes: regular charging and fast charging. Users can swipe specific charging cards on the human-machine interface of the charging pile to select charging modes, set charging duration, print cost data, etc. The display screen shows charging volume, cost, charging time and other data.
