Can You Turn on the Air Conditioning While Charging an Electric Vehicle?

[SanFrancisco]

Currently, most pure electric vehicles allow the use of air conditioning while charging. However, doing so will extend the charging time. More importantly, using electrical appliances inside the car during charging accelerates the reaction speed of the reactive materials inside the battery due to the current circulating throughout the system. This speeds up battery degradation, and simultaneous charging and discharging can exacerbate battery aging and potentially increase the risk of spontaneous combustion. More details are as follows: 1. Generally, new energy electric vehicles operate under relatively stable voltage and current conditions during charging. However, using high-power electrical appliances like air conditioning requires higher voltage, which can lead to unstable current and affect the charging efficiency. 2. During charging, the battery capacity of the new energy electric vehicle's power battery pack is fixed. If the air conditioning is used, it continuously consumes power, thereby prolonging the overall charging time.
