Do new energy vehicles use DC or AC?
1 Answers
New energy vehicles use both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). The charging pile is connected to AC power externally and outputs DC power, which is used to charge the vehicle. Charging methods for new energy vehicles: To date, there are only two charging methods for new energy vehicles: fast charging and slow charging. Fast charging and slow charging are relative concepts. Generally, fast charging refers to high-power DC charging, and most new energy vehicles that support fast charging can reach 80% capacity in about half an hour. Slow charging refers to AC charging, and the charging process usually takes 6 to 8 hours. Charging precautions: Excessively low battery levels can easily cause the power battery to become undercharged. Long-term undercharging can seriously damage the power battery. When using an electric vehicle, it is best to follow the principle of shallow charging and discharging, and charge frequently.
