Introduction to charging methods for the Benben EV: There are several charging methods available: wall-mounted charging stations, public charging stations, and portable chargers included with the vehicle. It is also possible to charge using a standard 220V household power supply, which may take around 11 hours for a full charge. Professional charging stations, on the other hand, can typically charge the vehicle in about half an hour. There are three main charging methods for new energy vehicles: public charging stations, home charging stations, and portable charging. Below are detailed introductions to each method: 1. Public charging stations: Public charging stations generally offer fast charging (DC) and slow charging (AC). As the names suggest, fast charging provides more power in a shorter time, while slow charging delivers less power and takes longer. Public charging stations are more common in first-tier cities, whereas they are relatively scarce in third- and fourth-tier cities, making charging less convenient. The availability of public charging stations may vary by city, so it is advisable to check the local situation. 2. Home charging stations: To use this method, a charging station must be installed at home. Installation requires coordination with the property management to ensure compliance with community regulations. After obtaining approval from the property management, further permissions from the fire department and civil defense office are necessary, followed by an on-site inspection by the power supply department. 3. Portable charging: Portable charging involves using the portable charging cable provided with the vehicle to connect to a standard household power outlet. The advantage of this method is convenience, as charging can be done wherever there is an outlet. However, the downside is the very slow charging speed. For example, charging a vehicle with a 57kWh battery and a 300km range can take nearly 20 hours for a full charge.
