Does the Chery Ant Need Grounding for Charging?
2 Answers
Chery Ant charging requires grounding, and it should be installed by professionals. It is not recommended to install it privately. Electric vehicle charging precautions: Protect the charger and try to avoid bumps and vibrations; It is recommended to charge daily to keep the battery in a shallow cycle state, which will extend the battery's lifespan; Periodically perform a deep discharge on the battery to "activate the battery." Electric vehicle charging time: Charging an electric vehicle at 220 volts usually takes about 9 hours to fully charge; If using a dedicated charging pile, it can be fully charged in two hours; If using a professional charging station, it only takes 15 minutes to half an hour to fully charge. Charging power and the vehicle's battery capacity directly affect the charging time.
Yes, the Chery Ant absolutely requires a grounding wire when charging, and I've learned this from personal experience. Charging is similar to charging a phone but more complex, and the grounding wire prevents electric leakage accidents. A friend of mine tried to save trouble by using a regular two-hole socket to charge, and suddenly the charger sparked, almost causing injury. Later inspection revealed it was due to no grounding, leaving the current with nowhere to go. Both the Chery Ant's charging station and portable charger are designed to rely on grounding. If the socket wiring is faulty, the system will alarm and interrupt charging. For home use, it's recommended to first check the socket with a test pen to see if there's a grounding wire; if not, buy a grounding adapter for emergencies, but in the long run, have an electrician install a reliable grounding. Safe driving starts with details—don't gamble with your life. Developing good habits saves major trouble.
