Can the heater be turned on while charging a new energy vehicle?
1 Answers
It is possible to turn on the heater while charging a new energy vehicle, but it is generally not recommended. Using the air conditioning during charging increases the internal charge load on the battery, causing the battery pack to continue working before it is fully charged. This accelerates the degradation rate of the power battery pack. Moreover, during the charging process, new energy vehicles typically operate under stable voltage and current conditions. However, using high-power appliances like the air conditioning requires higher voltage, which can lead to unstable current and negatively affect charging efficiency. Additionally, the battery capacity of a new energy vehicle's power battery pack is fixed during charging. If the air conditioning is used, it will continuously consume power, thereby prolonging the overall charging time. More importantly, using electrical appliances in the vehicle during charging accelerates the reaction speed of the battery's internal materials due to the current flow in the cycle. This speeds up battery degradation, and simultaneous charging and discharging can exacerbate battery aging and potentially increase the risk of spontaneous combustion. Therefore, although most pure electric vehicles currently allow the air conditioning to be used while charging, it is advisable to minimize simultaneous charging and discharging to prolong the battery's lifespan.
