Do New Energy Vehicles Require Grounding for Charging?
1 Answers
Electric vehicle home charging must have a grounding wire. Many owners who purchase new energy electric vehicles will use the portable home charger that comes with the car, plugging it directly into a 220V household socket for charging. However, many owners find that the portable charger's fault light flashes and it fails to charge properly. This is due to the lack of a grounding wire. Power Supply from Property Management: Generally, property management will consider factors like power capacity and fire safety to reasonably configure a power supply location nearby for the owner. The user only needs to connect the power from the lower end of the property's distribution cabinet. Usually, this power supply location is near the charging parking space's distribution cabinet, which typically has a ground terminal or grounding point, and connecting to it is sufficient. Power Supply from the Power Bureau: Owners can apply for installation, but the electric meter applied for generally does not have a grounding wire available.
