Can You Turn on the Air Conditioning While Charging an Electric Vehicle?
1 Answers
Yes. Turning on the air conditioning while charging does not affect the lifespan of the power battery. Here are the relevant details: Simultaneous operation is possible: The power battery of an electric vehicle can perform charging and discharging simultaneously. In other words, it is feasible for the power battery to charge while discharging to power the air conditioning. When the air conditioning is turned on during charging, the current flows from the charging station to the power battery and then to the air conditioning, without a separate circuit. Precautions for charging electric vehicles: Avoid charging in high temperatures. Hot weather combined with the heat generated during charging can cause the surface temperature of the battery to rise significantly, potentially melting the protective casing or even leading to a fire. Therefore, it is advisable to charge the vehicle in a shaded area or during the evening and avoid charging in extreme heat.
