How to Charge New Energy Electric Vehicles?

[ColinDella]

There are three ways to charge new energy electric vehicles: public charging pile charging, home charging pile charging, and portable charging: 1. Public charging pile charging is usually divided into fast charging and slow charging. Fast charging provides more power and takes less time, while slow charging provides relatively less power and takes longer; 2. Portable charging refers to using the portable charging cable that comes with the vehicle to connect to a regular household socket for charging. It can be charged wherever there is a socket, but the charging speed is relatively slow; 3. Home charging pile charging requires installing a charging pile in front of the home. Installing a charging station requires communication with the property management to see if the community regulations allow the installation of a charging pile. After obtaining the property management's approval, it also needs the consent of the fire department and civil defense office, followed by an on-site inspection by the power supply department. Only after all these steps are completed can the installation proceed. New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional vehicle fuels as power sources (or use conventional vehicle fuels with new on-board power devices), integrating advanced technologies in vehicle power control and driving, resulting in vehicles with advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures.

Charging my new energy electric car is actually quite simple. Every day after work, I park the car in the garage and charge it using the home charging station. This charging station was installed when I bought the car, requiring an electrician to wire it up, and it operates on standard 220-volt household voltage. Typically, charging overnight for about seven to eight hours fully charges the battery, giving me a range of around 400 kilometers. It's both cost-effective and convenient, as home electricity is much cheaper than gas stations. On weekends, if I'm going on a long trip, I'll find a public fast-charging station on the highway. Just scan a code to charge, and it takes less than half an hour to reach 80% battery. One thing to note is to avoid letting the battery temperature get too high. In the summer, I charge in the shade to protect the battery's lifespan and avoid potential safety hazards.

When charging, I mainly consider the charging type. At home, I use AC slow charging, which has lower power but is suitable for overnight charging—safe and energy-efficient. In public places, I opt for DC fast charging stations with high power output, such as charging piles delivering over 100 kW, which can provide a range of 200-300 kilometers in under 30 minutes. The key is to choose the correct charging gun and socket to avoid mismatched models. I always make a habit of checking voltage stability to prevent equipment damage from overload. Additionally, I monitor the charging process via a mobile app to track the real-time increase in battery level. To save money, charging during off-peak hours when electricity rates are lower is more economical and also supports environmental protection by reducing carbon emissions.

I always believe the key to charging is efficiency and eco-friendliness. Every time I drive home, I prioritize using solar panels to charge my car, avoiding resource waste. When on business trips, I locate parking lots with fast chargers and scan the QR code to initiate charging. The entire process is automated, and I make sure not to interrupt charging overnight to protect the battery. This helps reduce exhaust emissions, doing my small part for the planet.

My first step is to locate the vehicle's charging port, usually located at the front or side. Then, I take out the charging gun and plug it in properly, using a mobile app to scan the QR code to initiate charging. Payment methods support WeChat Pay or Alipay, which is very convenient. While charging, I usually take a walk nearby, and it's fully charged in about an hour. A reminder for beginners: always choose a safe location for charging and avoid operating during thunderstorms.
